Valve size on LS1 heads
Valve size on LS1 heads What size valves would be recommended for LS1 heads. I have a TR 224/224 114LSA and .563 of lift.
I'm thinking 2.020 and 1.570.
Opinions and suggestions are welcome! Please explain your reason for picking the size you suggest though.
Thanks!

I guess I should have been more specific. I'm going to be porting them myself and am wondering what size valves I should get and how to tell. I guess the size of the valve has to do with how much I port?
What do you mean by having the seat throats ratioed?
just out of curiousity, why isnt the 2.02/1.60 combo used more on the LS heads?
Seems everyone and their grandmother uses 1.57 exhaust valves, Ive done a bit of searching around and havent really found any solid reasoning for this.
