Choice on Valves, Manley, Ferrera, LT4?
Ok of my limited knowledge in the head area this is what i got.
Manley valves are of the same quality of the ferrera but the valves are actually a tad to big for LT1 heads
Ferrera more expensive but has the right fit 2.00 in/ 1.56 ex.
I think the manleys are 2.02 in/ 1.57 ex ?
The LT4's are 2.00in/1.55ex.
The intake stems are hollow to save on weight and the exhaust stems are sodium filled for heat transfer, they are also lighter than the lt1 exhaust valves.
If price wasnt an option and you were to use them with ported LT1 heads which would u pick?

All of these companies make the correct size valves (2.00/1.56 or 1.57)
Ferrea 6000 series will flow the best and tolerances are always close.
Rev valves are pretty good as well and a lil less $$$.
Manleys are even less $$$ but still flow better than the LT4's
The LT4 valves are VERY light but probably flow the worst out of the valves listed.
If I already had some of these valves in the coprrect size, I would use them. If I had to buy some, I would buy the Ferrea's or Rev's before the others. The LT4's would probably be pretty expansive unless bought used.

I've got Manley 2.0"-1.56" "Pro-Flo" valves in my LT1. I bought the valves before I sent the heads to my porter, and originally he didn't want to use them because he usually uses Ferrea. After putting the Manleys in and getting 271 CFM @ .550" even he was impressed.
