im not sure if they were all like that, but Sandstorm was having issues with the TI valves and ended up putting stockers back in. but this was a while ago so who knows what he has now.

I am not comfortable with Ti valves because our valve stems are so long.No OEM's that I can find with Ti valves are anywhere close to as long as ours are.Would be a benefit though weight wise for sure.I would like to try Ti sometime since I am more of a high RPM type.But with strokers and big bores it seems that a bit of lower RPM and taller gearing should give huge gains with higher reliability.Stainless Kibblewhites fit that bill perfectly.

According to my scale the Kibblewhites are 2grams heavier than the stock valves I had in my head.(my stock valves may be different than others)this is about the weight of a dime.Both exhaust and intakes 2grams heavier.
