Default valve angles (do's and dont's)

I'm about to send my head in for a valve job and would like some insights on this subject. I’m not asking for seat angles. I’m just curious if it would be wise to do the same cut/angel for the intake as for the exhaust when doing a three angle valve job?
The angles I’m thinking about doing are 63/47/35 for the intake and 65/45/30 for the exhaust. Any comments will be appreciated. Thank you for looking.

I know some guys will cut the bottom on the intake differently when using long duration cams to prevent exhaust reversion. I've never done it, nor am i speaking from first hand experience, so someone should insert an actual experience now

Those angle sound good for a mild camshaft.

Do 45 instead of 47 on the intake for best lingevity.

Good ole 30/45/60 works really good for street motors. Motors that see less than 8500 rpms.

Yep intake and exhaust.

Depending on the quality and concentricity of the VJ, do a very light lap and clean off the grit very throughly and you will be coo.

use stock S2000 specs. it's a 4 angle job on the intake and 3 angle on the exhaust. i forgot the specs, but i have them written down at work.
that's what i've used every time i had a valve job done.
