Bigger Valves ? Will bigger Valves ( from 2.02 too 2.04's) hurt lower
end torque ? What are the Pros & Con's of these
valve choices in stg.2 LS6 Heads ( besides flycutting
the pistons) ?

No they won't hurt low end torque, but remember the bigger the valves, the more weight they have which leads to the need for stiffer valve springs and can result in lower reliability. Note that GM chose to use light weight hollow valves for the LS6 heads. Also, at some point the valve gets shroulded by the cyilinder walls so you really need a bigger bore to go with the really big valves.
