I would have *probably* used a 50 degree seat on your deal with a 2.05 valve. But that doesn't advertise as well. You have enough lift, but the air speed may be a bit slow for it. Maybe a 48* seat. Oddly enough this may help in this case but I don't think you know why.
You are correct in the 2.08 valve because it *generally* makes low lift numbers go up but the cross section can't support the big valve at higher lift numbers. But your low and mid numbers are down, which is why I'm thinking valve job and a short turn fluff and buff. Plus fix the cam. At his measured flow rates the cross section isn't the problem. It's the bloody shape of it all. The S.S. /bowl/chamber/V.J.! His low and mid numbers are exactly what you would expect from the shape!
