why in gods name would you put bigger valves in? this isn't a small block chevy. this is a boosted car, valve size has very minimal effect. definately not worth the money and time. modifying any of the cylinder head is almost pointless. a good valvetrain will help if you are trying to shift it high, but you better have an oil pump that can take it.

If you're just trying for 8500 then leave it alone or if you need to have the head rebuilt anyway go with 1mm oversize exhaust valves. FWIW Ferrea is hands down, far and away the best valve, period. You can spend a ton of money on some titanium, drift spec, JDM, nitrate coated, saloon style valves but at the end of the day the Ferrea stainless steel valves are top notch. I know your car is pretty well "built" but if you don't have at least a sheet metal intake then you won't make any power up there anyway.

Yeah, I remember you posting for quite a while on here/the old board and your car is pretty fast (unless I have you confused with someone else) so I kinda "know" your car. I'm just trying to save you some money that could otherwise be spent on something more useful, that's all. Bean went way into the 10's on a stock head with a set of 272's so I'm just saying think long and hard before you spend your hard earned cash on head work and huge valves.
