LS6 valves worth it?

If your installing these on a stock bore LS1/6 you're better off with the smaller valves. The larger valves shroud the combustion chamber and reduce flow. For a larger bore, the larger valves along with the appropriate unshrouding would be a greater benefit.
From a valvetrain perspective, less weight is always better. If you can get a good deal on the LS6 valves, go for it. If not, don't sweat it and use a nice light beehive spring.
