Default Valve Questions

I was in the process of swapping cams and while doing this I figured why not get some work done to the heads. I was going to get some Manley valves, but I came across some lightweight zo6 valves and I can get some for around 100 dollars. I would like to know if this is worth the 100 or should I just get the Manley's instead

Lightweight valves are always best, but when they are used, i dunnoIf I was to buy a used set of valves, Iwould want to know exactly what they were out of and why they were changed out.
If you feel comfortble with the valves, then I say HELL YEAH, get the hollow stems.

It might be risky like MSU mentioned, I would get the manleys and don't look back.

Those hollow stems 2 peice welded shitz are why I now have a new forged motor....one broke and took the entire lower end with it and one head. Get the manley raceflows. They are one peice and wont break in two if it touches due to over rev/float.

What they said. I don't know what a set of Manley's cost but Ferrea's ~$200. It's not that expensive to go with new.

I was pretty much decided on the manleys, but I didn't know if the zo6's would be better. Thanks for the information guys!
