I would upgrade to ITR intake valves (larger), exhaust are the same as your B16
Oh wait, that's what I did, it should read I upgraded to.....

itr valves aren't larger.. they are lighter.. and hes got a b18c1.. and yes.. it would be good to upgrade your valves for higher revs.. have fun.. it sure does like to scream when you pull it to 9 k

just upgrade the intake valves? hmm...ok , sounds good. im putting this b16 head on my gsr block with some b16 pistons to raise the compression to about 11.4:1 how much are ITR valves? around 10 bux each?

definitely go with the lighter valves but make sure you use stiffer springs to match or you could get pretty bad valve float.

im just getting the normal portflow job. its gonna run me about 9 bills. once its all done my setup will be:
JDM B16 head with portflow headwork
Full Skunk2 valvetrain
Skunk2 stage 1 cams( currently in my GSR now)
B16 pistons( 11.4:1 compression on my GSR block)
5zigen header (2.5 inch collector)
ITR intake manifold
ITR tranny
Toda flywheel
Carsound cat
Skunk2 or Mugen chipped P28
cant wait till its all done. this ***** gonna fly!
with good tuning im looking at easily over 200hp!
