stock valves are fine, any other stock sized valves would be overkill.

What valvesprings and lift are you running? If it's not too radical, I'd say get some hollow/sodium filled LS6 valves. You can get some used ones for ~$150.

aftermarket cams have smaller base circle right? so I can keep my 7.4 PR's from what I understand...but can also go to a 7.3xx for a quieter motor?

my cam is only around 570 lift or something

not all cams have a smaller base circle. pushrod length all depends on the cam and if your heads are milled.
