I've asked the question of standard steel vrs SS valves and plain SS vrs swirl polished severe duty SS on several lists and received limited responses. They go like this: 1. Undercut, swirl polished severe duty SS are great for engines runing at sustained high rpms. NASCAR and other big boys have used titanium for years, so is SS a 'middle of the road' option? Are regular SS any better than OEM steel valves? 2. I have yet to hear of anyone burning or dropping an OEM steel valve when the assembly is put together correctly with the right components and operated with the correct fuel/air mixture. 3. None of the factory muscle cars ever used SS valves and they were produced primarily for NASCAR, drag and track events. That's what I've heard. Nothing scientific but lots of looking for that extra edge in competition. Not being into off-shore racing or other 'severe duty' applications, I still don't know the advantage of SS over OEM steel.
