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...
