You know, they say there is no such thing as a stupid question. And you tendency to answer questions with another question comes up again. Makes you feel good I think, whatever.
Its known that the High Port has long valves so they weigh more than say a E head. So just about all the big builds with them have Ti valves to save weight. I was asking to get a idea if the issue was more so with this new head. Everyone else knew that, but you had to ask for some reason.
Its about controlling the valve train. You know that, I know that but you had to ask to make yourself feel superior.
So, how ya feeling ?????

Its a race head! No one should be running steel valves, if you can't afford ti valves then run e-heads i guess. Everyone tries to turn a race head into a budget street head for some reason.
But with that said i ran steel valves in my hp heads to 8000rpm without issue for 2 seasons.

Does not answer the question of why you even asked it in the first place ?
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.

How long are the valves on those things compared to a High Port ? Weight ?

I say there's no stupid questions, just stupid people. But you know ; GUNS DONT KILL PEOPLE, BULLETS KILL PEOPLE .

So how long are the f'n valves?

Seems like too much to ask. But the same few want to make it about everything "except" the new heads. Don't mind them. Its like getting mad at a snake when it bites you. They are supposed to bite. Then you watch them eat their own.
I see not reason to rip on KRE, just glad they make new stuff for us. I bet it was on a dyno mule engine anyway. I seem to remember the first Tiger engine putting out 800ish HP. Doubt their next one put out over 1000HP. Have to start somewhere.

Its really nice to hear from you again around here. I was wondering if you were still doing your thing.
