I haven't asked Jimmy, have you asked him how he feels about titanium valves?

I can afford them and they would extend my valve spring life, but this stuff has to stop some place.

No I haven't. I met Jimmy some years ago at the Dutch through a friend who bought a set of heads from him. I believe he was trying to set the record at that time in the Corvette. I was on the starting line when he made a couple of passes and I thought that was an awful lot of RPMs for a big block.

Don't get me wrong-its obvious the steel valves will work. Even at the high RPMS. It;s my opinion that if titanium valves were legal, maybe the valve train would last longer.

Funny, I never heard anyone complain about titanium axles in a rear....
