Default Stock LS-7 heads with Vortech V-7

About to fire this LS-7 with vortech v-7 ysi and 3in pulley.I studded the top and bottom end and put forged rods and je slugs.Compression is 9.5.Changed the valve springs and push rods.But i am terrified of the feedback on the stock valves.Do I have to tear this thing down after all this work?I think it run about 800rwhp with the meth.Will the stock valves take this?

Default LS-7 Valves

G-day I think that most of the issues arise from the the weak sodium filled exhaust valves but I think I will take my chances.Love your country,just spent 2 mon there!
