Default Lightweight Valves for LS2

I'm thinking about an AFR 205 head package for my C6 Z51. Are lightweight valves available for this head? For example, the C5 Z06 had lightweight hollow sodium filled valves: are valves like this an option? And, of course, the C6 Z06 has Titanium valves: are they an option? Thanks!

Might check here: http://www.ferrea.com Page 24-26 of domestic catalog lists their hollow stem and sodium filled hollow stem valves. Just figure out what the AFR valves specs are...stem diameter, valve length, valve head diameter, etc.

AFR's website shows Titanium valves for their heads: http://www.airflowresearch.com/parts.php
No prices are given. Has anyone used Titanium valves with the AFR heads?

Yeah, but they're $100 a pop

AFR catalog, check their 2007 price listing for items 7229/7231 - 2.02 hollow stem intake and 1.6 exhaust valves;
also item 7507/8 to substitute for hollow stems if you haven't already ordered you heads.
