Valves
Getting ready to put a set of aluminum heads together. I've always believed in using a Heavy Duty intake and Severe Duty exhaust for marine use. But is it really necessary in a naturally aspirated application? Would a standard race valve be sufficient. End goal is 600hp BBC.
Opinions please.

Good valves aren’t that expensive and cheap valves aren’t that cheap. Go for some good stuff and don’t skip the inconel exhaust.

I'm right there with all of you. Just wondering if technology had gotten good enough of the race series of valves. Did get a rare chance to talk to an old acquaintance that builds offshore power for a living in Virginia. He said they use Manley Severe Duty in everything naturally aspirated. If it's got a blower they go to inconel for the exhaust.
