Looks like titanium, at least on the Z06 version, and assuming this wasn't changed from 2014 to 2015/2016.

The extra stonk comes from the variable valve timing with intake valves made of titanium

I don't know that they are the same.

I believe the LT4 features solid titanium intake valves as an upgrade from the LT1. The intake valves on the LT1 are hollow and nitrided which is a surface heat treatment... So maybe stainless? Not sure.

Intake valves are 54mm hollow Nitrided Sil 1 . Exhaust valves are 40.4mm Sodium Filled.

Sil 1 (SilChrome 1) is an alloy with 8.5% Chromium.
