What is wrong with asking how long a valve is ? Its a issue for some, so I asked.
Maybe some people would like to get a idea of when Ti valves are needed for a High Port. Its a issue when deciding on heads for a particular build.
If you have to have Ti valves for a targeted horsepower with High Port heads but you can get the same targeted horsepower with E heads maybe spending a extra 1600$ on valves is not the best choice for some. Mike made 1150+ with SS ex valves.
I am running SS valves on my High Ports.
And you have the brake booster question. I bet I have a issue with my car. Its close right now.

Race heads should have race parts imo. If you take a race head and use it for street you'll have to deal with the issues that arise from that.
I asked why you asked about valve length because a lot of people make a big deal about the length and weight of the valve. From my experience it's not much of an issue. Valve head sizes adds more weight than a little longer valve does.
Yes for sure a taller head interference issues. I notched my valve covers for my wiper moter. No big deal. The Super Wedge is a tall head expect issues. Its all part of using a race head. People like to complain and whine about things when they're using a part that was never intended for that use. It's a race part designed to make big power deal with it.
With all that said i wouldn't be surprised if this Super Wedge engine has steel valves, 7300rpm is nothing no days.
