well i know the stock valve sizes areI 34E 28

I was wondering if anyone has gone over sized valves at all and if so what did you push them to? and what do you think is the max size you can go? I sent my head off to my guy and he is doing a race port and he is also going to find out how big i can go but its going to take him a while to figure it out, just wondering what everyone else has done or thinks we can push it to?

thanks

You'll prob have to get the UK guys over here on this one. AFAIK, nobody stateside has put in larger valves.

the EDM connection is sweedish mike. he knows all the crazy tricks they use on the europe engines (like welding the intake runners to reduce the port size - like the JB weld trick, but stronger)

I was having that thought as well but was at work and couldn't look up anything to see how close together they really car.

Really ****ing close. I mean like there is a space the size of Bill Clintons definition of "is" between them.
