I recommend upgrading to 2.02" intake and 1.57" exhaust valves. These will fit nicely onto the factory installed seats and they also fit nicely into the 3.90" bore. Larger valves will require installing larger seats and that gets into some buck$. If your on a budget, then install a 2.0" intake and go have some fun.
What size cam are you planning? Valve/piston clearance could be an issue with larger valves.
Good luck,
Richard
