well it looks like your spraying a good bit, so a good stainless would be what i run, ls3 valves are 150 bucks or so. add another 100.00 and you can get the ferrea 6000s. they are full stainless,

Stock valves are lighter, but for a nitrous combo, I'm not sure how reliable they'll be with a decent size shot.
