Good catch Brad.
I've been checking on that. I've been told the valves are the same material, but then also told by different people that they are different material. I will edit the above post about that.
I can find no one who really says anything for sure. I think that I will go ahead and take the two valves into school and try to perform some analysis on them.
thanks again,
warmonger

IIRC, Terry replied to a post about that with knowledge of what they were made out of. I don't remember what they were made out of or if they were filled with powder or hollow, but the info was there. I do know he was against it. I'll see if I can find it...

Here it is... Exhaust valves are a higher temp matl (Nimonic) .They operate at a higher temp than the intakes,which are cooled by the incoming charge.In most conditions the exhausts operate with a slight 'glow'so they must resist oxidization better than intakes.I would not use intakes in place or exhausts...'The China Syndrome....'core melt down'...

You are going to need custom programming for the timing if your experience is the same as mine (PCM timing too agressive for 11:1 compression and knocks like mad). A custom burned Diablo is ~$200 cheaper, so that's what I am going with (soon, very soon). $510 for custom Superchip, $325 for custom Diablo. Mine will be RLJ1 code.

so its possible to get 240 fwhp out of a 3l swap/mix? is that like 270hp at the crank? i wanna be all over that (less the turbo, dont have $5000). what would be a rough price to reach this?
...and yes, I did SEARCH first before asking.

The only one who has achieved 240hp (David Z) has special, one-off SVE cams. I doubt you could get there without them... slap me if I'm wrong.

warmonger was able to reach 217 fwhp which is hella good. if i just did my math right assuming the 17% loss, thats about 260 hp at crank. i'd be more than pleased w/ those results. just curious what cost of getting to this level is versus the turbo. I would prefer to have a n/a engine.
very nice 3l explanation in your site warmonger.
