IMO get the complete kit from Ferrea
It comes with severeduty valves , titainium retainers , dual springs , chrome moly locks , spring cups.
Crower valves are heavyduty not severeduty which is a must for 100% reliability not 99%

if you are staying NA, get the lightest valves you can find, lightened nitrided stainless steel......DPR used to offer valves specifically for NA duties, supposedly the lightest on the market that were not titanium...dont forget, you might also want to look to see if you can get these valves in a flat-faced configuration for a bump in c/r

i took the recomendation of my engine builder (dyno spot racing) and went with rev stainless steel valves

did flat flace for some more c/r

i am putting the engine in tomorrow, i will let you know

I wonder how much that ferrea valve package goes for?

itr valves are great

lots of people with built motors run itr valves

they should handle 220+whp and 9.5k rpm runs

i would go with itr valves. only reason i didnt is because they are expensive
