Valves, worth their weight?

What good does replacing valves do? Is there much performance gain? are the skunk2 std valves any better than the ITR's?

Its more valve springs that make a difference.

bigger valve will move suck (intake) and explell (exhaust) air faster, there other components go hand in hand with bigger valve though! like cam, valve springs, 5 agnles valve job, exhaust...ect

Re: Valves, worth their weight? (2lua)

well i have CTR cams, gears, and ITR springs. im getting a new ECU soon to compliment my V-AFC and i was thinking about future mods. What does a 5 angle valve job do, and how much would it cost for such a procedure?
