I get the issue. I'm absolutely not doubting what Dave said about no one buying them. I did my own heads with 2.02 valves and everyone said I was crazy. It's all about marketing. Surely a 2.08 valve will kick the hell out of a 2.02 valve. In advertising.
BTW, I've been using seats steeper than 45 since about 2000. That's how OLD the technology is. It's hard to do it on a street strip deal because...
A) If you go from a 45 to a 50* seat it makes the margin thin, quick. Not if you cut down a larger valve or go custom.
2) It takes a different shape valve to make the steeper seat work correctly, and guys don't want to buy anything that isn't interns normal. You would think and yet tulip valves are only considered normal with the Hemis
B) The steeper the seat, changes the way you face the valve. You lost me here.
1) There are other reasons but I'm sure you know them. Nope see above.
BTW, you can make the back cut as wide as you want it, it doesn't make a difference. As long as it runs up to the seat is all that matters and it's still a bad idea in most cases.Seriously not understanding this.[/QUOTE]
Most of your posts offer nothing to help OP all you do is regurgitate something you've heard or read somewhere before, oh and you like to name drop as well. I don't care really about anything online as I'm receiving no compensation whatsoever however-when I read downright false/misleading and downright dangerous advice I cannot sit idly by. Oh and FABO and its ads are starting to piss me off so bad I'm finding myself not wanting to come here as much. J.Rob
