Until it wears the aluminum it would be seating on. A 2.055" valve will hang off the seat of a stock LS1 seat. Keep your valve choice below 2.04 if you do not plan on changing the seats.

Dude shut up would you. I know and have explained to him if we ran a 2.050 valve the seats had to be changed. I wasnt born yesterday and have plenty of knowledge on LSX cars.

You shut up queer. I know ppl who've ran 2.100" valves on the stock seat on race cars. I was pointed out something that maybe wasn't obvious to him.
