Default high compression valves

When my timing belt went I guess some valves got bent in the process. about how much would high comp valves raise my overall compression. also seeing as im damn near broke would I be hurting anything if I drove around on a few bent vlaves? Im looking for oppinions on wether high comp valves are a worthey upgrade or not?

The valve face is flat, not concaved. That occupies more space in the combustion chamber, and incerases compression.

yea, but the increase is so little, i hardly call that "high compression", you wouldn't raise the compression enough to get a noticeable power increase except on a dyno, and even then, it wouldnt hardly be visible just to look at the graph
