i am doing a mild turbo build 8psi) and as a safe way i am going to put a new valvetrain in so i dont float one, its not worth the risk. no major work being done just a valvetrain replacment and some polishing.

save your money its not needed.

get a good port and polish job, and some valve springs and retainers.

your vavles are straight for some decent power. replacing them will only allow higher heat tollarances. it will not prevent float.
