OK, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the valves on my 95 GT 1.75" intake, and 1.375 exhaust? I ask because I'm getting oversized valves for a new set of stock heads, along with roller rockers, and ported exhaust. And what size should I go to? I was thinking 2.02" intake and 1.6" exhaust? Is that too big?<edited><editID>tchamber</editID><editDate>37965.661087963</editDate></edited>

I'd love to, but I'm not going that route till I get a new engine, and I dont know when that will be yet. So I want to do as much bolt on as I can.

you are going to spend all that money to put bigger valves in you syock heads when you could buy some aftermarket heads for almost the same. that is a lot of wasted money if youask me. new stock heads. spend a little more and get some afr's. and when you get your new engine just get them freshened up. it is a lot easier and you will benefit more in the long run both money wise and mind wise.

A little more for AFRs? Nah, they run over $1200, and I will be spending less than $250. Besides, I hear that with my 100K engine, I dont want any big power or the bottom end will go out. I just want enough to hold me over till I can get a new engine. <edited><editID>tchamber</editID><editDate>37965.9935185185</editDate></edited>

you do know that the heads will require alot of machining to fit the larger valve right? you might not even be able to machine the stock heads for that size valve.

Well, I get the machining done for free at Lake Washington VocTech, and as for the valves fitting, I dont see why they wouldnt, because aftermarket heads that have that size valve still have the same bore, so the head should be wide enough. I hope. Keep on posting ideas, let me know what you think.</P>

I'd go with 1.90/1.60

but that's just me. I tend to lean toward the conservative side.
