Default Ok, decision time, need input, please....(Valve size question)

New head order is being finalized tomorrow (READ: PAID FOR <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> ), and I now have to decide between 1.55 or 1.60 exhaust valves, any input? I see different manufacturers are using different valve sizes, what should I choose, what are the pros and cons of each? Mods are in sig, cam is TR230/224. TIA, Shawn

I would also go with 2.02/1.57 combo. Works great for me so far and less expensive to boot <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Cheers,
Chris
