go with oem. no point in making your valvetrain heavier than it has to be. mill the head a lil bit if you want a lil more compression and use a thinner headgasket.

WHERE ARE YOPU GETTING THE IDEA THAT THE AFTERMARKET VALVES ARE HEAVIER? THE OMNI POWER VALVE TRAIN ARE LIGHTER THAN STOCK! AS IN MOST AFTERMARKET PARTS ARE STRONGER AND LIGHTER!!! AND HEAVYER VALVE TRAIN WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

your incorrect. all flat faced valves require more material to make the flat face therefore adding weight to the valve and just to be clear oem valves are not heavy and when compared to a flat faced valve the oem valves ARE lighter.
