Planning my DIY build as well now.
Assuming you are talking about exhaust valves only...Ferrea F2042p one piece hollow stem stainless valves. If you can swing the cost, and its the right alloy for your combo/future goals, Ti exhaust valves are pretty slick as well.

I'll skip the soda and go straight to the womens...any color hair is fine, or no hair at all if you know what I mean.

I went with new factory hollow stems on the exhaust, and Ti/Mo on the intake. Ferrea hollow stems sound nice, especially with AHP MoldStar guides, if you are stock cam lift, but with a big cam "light is right", as Richard at WCCH told me.

I only made a purchase after reviewing spintron data from Katech testing. Too many opinions on this matter, everyone and their uncle is an "LS expert". I start to care when a laser tells me that the lifter has left contact with the cam, or rocker and valve tip, or spring bounce, or whatever other freaky stuff happens in valvetrain land. Katech formula is working for me, and I drive my car like Cole Trickle on a bad day.

They are top notch, kept me informed on my build and answered my numerous questions through out the process.




I agree! That is one of the very best looking/built Z's I've ever seen.
Beautiful. Don't ever let her go!
