I'm looking at buying a 531 head and rebuilding it before I put it in my turbo build.
The goal is to get as close to 300hp as I can on a 15g. Obviously, this necessitates bigger valves, better cam, and all of that.
My questions are:
1) With an IPD turbo cam, will the stock 531 valves do it?
2) If the stock valves will flow enough, will the materials hold up?
3) If I have to upgrade the material, I'll buy larger valves. Am I correct in thinking that 38mm Exhaust / 46mm Intake valves are the largest I can go on stock seats?
4) RSI Economy Valvetrain, or OEM Volvo for springs and retainers?
