One thing you guys need to do to look for good valves is with a magnet. The bad valves to get are the ones that are 2 piece. This means magnetic half way up the stem, these can melt in half quikly. Look for SS valves where they are magnetic right at the tip. Ferra valves are sweet, they are done right one piece, but don't sell a 2.2 valve. FM uses them and charge $66 a piece for exhaust and use a valve cap. MP uses a 1 piece valve with a hard tip too, I've heard they can't handle the heat. The head also absorbs too much heat. So I coated the head and valves with ceramic. I haven't seen a Si valve up close, so no comment. I have seen a Manley and they are the lame 2 piece design, these things are avoided by NA people lol
