Since that time i have done more experimenting with valve jobs, back cuts, etc. with surprising results. The oem valve seat is 45 degrees, right? I would try a 37 degree and lots of experimenting with "different" types of valves. Oh yeah, make sure the heads are cut close to minimum cc's before anything is done (saves surprises later). Ron.
Yes pay attention at low and mid lifts!!!!
