I run Ti valves is a Modifed motor and I will say it was the cheapest investment I have made. Disregarding the weight issue, considering the tight valve to piston clearance when trying to maximize CR, the slightest touch and a stainless valve gets bent. I have hit pistons to the point denting them with a Ti valve and they stayed straight. They are the next best thing to rubber when it comes to accidental contacting of a piston. I have a box full of bent stainless valves, no bent Ti valves.
