Worth changing to titanium valves ?
 
I already have my AFR 205's built fresh ,Dbl springs,Shimmed within .060 coil bind ,ect with the factory SS AFR valves in em.
Is it worth the gain to buy a set of used Titanium Valves & have turned dwn to fit ....motor will be as follows Lunati 383 kit ,AFR 205's & FAST 102/102 both worked by Mamo ,EWP,Pat G cam shifted between 7000 to 72000rpm .
Thanks for any & all input .

Will improve valvetrain stability @ high RPM's (lighter valves). Will reduce energy required during acceleration (always a good thing). In reference to any measurable HP/TQ gains...maybe.

If it were mine, would do it as long as the titanium valve tip agrees w/ the rocker arm tip material. Don't know which is softer or if there are any known issues regarding long term reliability, ie; one wearing out or failing long before the other.
