Thumbs down Exhaust valves and guides recommendations

Long story short. I money shifted I have to replace exhaust valves and guides. Should I stick with OEM or go after market (e.g. SuperTech)?

SuperTech exhaust valves and bronze guides are less expensive than OEM. Is anyone using them?

Thank you in advance

Info on your setup and future plans would be nice before we make a suggestion.

I'm currently running 10 psi on GT35R. I will be installing 2mm head gasket and will turn up the boost to around 15 psi.

Did your machinist tell you that your valve guide clearance is not in spec or do you just want to replace them?

don't swap HG's, well swap out to a new OEM gasket but don't swap to a 2mm HG.

might as well get inconel exhaust valves to stand up to the heat of launch control, and some stiffer springs/retainers while youre in there.

Now that I think of it. I can. Also pick-up some locks/keepers from whatever company you decide to go with.

I've been told my 2 different people, that you should use the same locks/keepers as retainers you are using. They aren't a "matched set", but the retainers are angle cut for specific retainers.

Exactly. But. If I buy Ferrea retainers I tend to stick to Ferrea for everything else.
