Take advice from your tuner as to what to do. Just slapping big valves in won't guarantee an improvement. As far as I'm aware my head is still on stock valve sizes

i think the big valves are only working at high bhp. I don't know your spec but i think it's better to go for a good flowed head with other camshaft then change valves.

My NMS big valve head will be up for sale at some point. I dropped a valve, so i will be fully reconned - basically the same as if you were to buy it 'new'

The head is awesome, the car revved for fun, with the turbo coming in earlier than std. The low compression 1600 (7.4:1) engine made 210@fly at 11psi, on a STANDARD cam and T3. I ran it closer to 2 bar on a t34 and it was incredible - perfect for a 300hp build.
