LT4 valves vs Manley Race

Which company makes the sodium filled valves like the LS6 ones?

I don't think manely makes 2.0/1.55 valves just 2.02/1.6?
But hey I've been worng before????
Here's a link to the sizes available for the LT4:

Here's a link to the prices and sizes of Manley Race valves:

So 2.0/1.55 for LT4 and 2.0/1.56 for Manley Race
I've searched and 2.0/1.56 is the largest valves that will fit in stock seats.
A local LT1 shop keeps telling me 2.02/1.60 won't fit in the LT1 heads even with new seats... What say you?

anyway, i think those are the sizes that lloyd and phil use so i wouldn't worry
I'm thinking 2.0 Intake to fit in modified stock seat and 1.60 in new seats. The reason I want to do this is NITROUS!!! Those valves along with a good port/polish and the 224/236 Nitrous cam should make some great power I would think...
I already run a 175HP shot on my stock iron heads. I'm shooting for a 250 shot with the new heads and cam...
Opinions concerning valve size/cam relationship and HP of nitrous...
