Supertech are going to be the most "cost effective". Ferrea are the best valves that we have seen for Honda engines. We have used both with no issues.

I will not use anything but Ferrea. Money well spent. I've been over 12,800RPM a few times and havent had an issue. Now that is hard to beat.

FERREA all the way. I have seen TOO many supertech valves drop and ruin the motors.

skunk 2 valves are good. I have a friend reving his to 9000-9500 with no problems. On my personal car I'm running supertech valves. It's actually supertech valvetrain. I've had the car 3 years....and reving any where from 9000 rpms to 10500rpms. Still running strong. Taken the car to the track, road racing and everything. On my girls car we have Ferrea...we wanted to try something different and have success also and she revs the car to 10k with success. So I say both Ferrea and Supertech are good products.
