Vergil, for a street engine you don't want a very thin valve and you don't really need all that flow for a street.
Thanks Ron, another note on the cam, I have advanced it a little, now the intake valve closes at 43° ABDC instead of 49°, thought it might bring the torque curve down just a little and so far I am happy with it but I didn't get to run it with the cam set straight up.
