  • pistons and valves

    I got 95 dished sohc pistons ,

    95 dished valves, and
    93 flat valves,

    Should I go with the flat valves, or lower the compression even more with the dished valves?

    What would the static ratos be for those?

    I dont plan on anybig boost psi's [email protected] mabye 230hp once I get my MS.

    having dished valves will not make any signifigant differance from the flat ones so i would just get better flat faced valves

      Flat valves seem to work best. I've burned my fair share of dished valves with nitrous.

        Its all in how the valve gets seated. A wider seat helps cool the edge of the valve.

        For your power goals I would use a 9.5:1 piston and the flat valves. With proper tunign it won't detonate, and the little bump in compression will help keep throttle response and off boost power up.
