Default 2.02/1.57 vs stock valves???? is it worth it on cam only car?

im porting a extra set of stock 241 castings.. come to find the person i got them from put some "350" 1.85/something smaller valves in a few of the things.. well i dont think he did but rather who he got them from. at any rate, this has me pm'ing gunnar@patriot, and now asking ya'll will it be worth it???

i have the f14 cam, 232/234.. just seems like 2.0 vs 2.02 isn't a whole lot ya know?!?! with a good vavle job and those larger valves will i pick up much over the stockers?

Default Remember Pi R squared

JP
Remember the area is equal to the Radius of the valves squared, that means a little goes a longer way than you would normally think. A 2.02 intake valve would have a 3% increase in area not to mention slightly better flow charateristics around the larger diameter arc.
