is it not better to run aftermarket valves than stock for a soon to be boosted motor? also i have a mad valve tap and have been told if adjusting valve lash doesnt help then some could possibly be bent? if someone could school me on this it would be helpful before i go spending money, thanks alot Scott

adjust the valves first. if there is a bent valve, you could just use another stock one. does the car smoke at all?
upgrading the valve train is usually done for high reving motors and/or aftermarket cams.

ok i'll do that..i wasn't sure if aftermarket valves would be needed..i'm planning on keeping stock cams and only running 8 psi boost. Does anyone know where i can find the block posts used in the tech article? i can't seem to find them at endyn's website..one more thing..do any of you guys use adjustable cam gears? are they worth the 100 bucks?
