you would be BETTER off with some nice ferrera valves, the stockers would have a shortened live.

Seems to be the trend, which is why I'm glad I have all of you to run this **** by. Do the shops just think I'm a sucker or what??

25psi here on stock valve, stock 317's heads, no porting or polishing, just a 3 angle valve job, and 918's. P.S. 25 psi up to 5k rpm only) Hell, I have not even lifted the head yet. I only have the arp head studs. I am not making 408 power (only 680hp&780tq) but psi is psi right? I think it would be interesting to pull the head and see what the valves looks like... If it ant broke dont fix it.
