I would spend the money on a longer stroke to keep the RPM down so I don't need Ti valves

Inconel valves are for turbo apps where the exhaust temps are much higher than naturally aspirated.

Depends on lift. I only spin my 514 to 7500 rpm but I'm close to .900 lift so the recommendation was to use Ti on the intakes.

We're also at .900 lift.. and after talking with my engine guy today.. He is solid on stainless steel for my application.. So I guess that means we are for sure going that route..

Thanks again everyone for your info... I spoke with the engine builder again yesterday.. Straight up told him I wanted to break the bank and get the titanium valves...
He flat out rejected that idea and used that polite "In all due respect" phrase... which basically means he refuses to spend the extra money and once again said I should save the money or upgrade to better heads and then get the exotic valves..
I guess that means he doesnt like B1 Original heads... but then he's a high horsepower, heads up racer...
