what are the best exh valves. Since I am am running a high boost turbo set up I plan to upgrade that some time. I know iconel is the best. But what brand, and besides iconel...the stainless ones are good. But I want opinions and experiences from members if possible

I know that Manley makes great stuff, here's the link: http://www.manleyperformance.com/nic...s_valves.shtml I have no personal experience, but they are popular with imports too.

Thats probably like me most were going to say iconel but you said besides iconel. Not sure what second best would be.

Ferrea and Rev both make good quality valves. I've personally used both companies titanium and stainless valves in my motorcycle race motors. Nitrous, 1720cc, 12,000 shift point, and 13,000 rev limit. I've haven't had the opportunity to run their LS3 stuff but wouldn't be scared to try. I would not recommend titanium for the street. Stainless or inconel

You could also order the LS9 head internals from GMPP. Those are supposed to be top notch quality.

What heads are you running? How high are you revving this motor? How much rwhp and boost?

inconel is the best for the exhaust, a good ss valve will work to as a second option, ferrea makes a good valve

I have used Ferrea on my old school builds. I would not hesitate to use them again.
