Default REV Valves....any good?

I am doing some unplanned upgrading on a 6.4 Hemi and was wondering what the consensus on the 8mm LS1 stainless race valves is from REV? I didn't find too much in the search but my searchfu may be weak.

These only have about 250 miles on them, but I want to upgrade now while the heads are off if I need to. Twin turbo motor with no more than 20 PSI. Reason I am asking is I heard another shop mention they were junk and the tips mushroomed really easy on more than one application. Any feedback is appreciated. The ones I have are CL1166 Intakes and CL1168 exhaust.

Thanks,
Chad

If I'm not mistaken, PRC uses REV valves.

If I can remember correctly my old Absolute Speed heads had Rev back cut valves, I didn't have any problem with them.

The DART heads for LS1 that I had used Rev valves. You could do a search on that as well but quite frankly I don't remember anyone posting issues with the valves in the DART heads since the heads were released.

Thanks for the responses guys......If the tip length is long enough to give me the correct rocker clearance this time I may leave them in it.
