906 or 915 ?

I wonder how necessary the 1.81 exhaust valve is in a factory cast iron head, my wondering comes from trickflow using a 1.78 ex valve. With a 2.190 intake valve
I'd think going bigger on the intake would be the ticket. ( Trickflow vs factory 906 ports not a fair comparison) but just a thought
The 906 will see a benefit from installing a larger exhaust valve. It greatly improves the short side of the port coming off the valve. The Trick Flow has such a better exhaust port than the 906 it can use a smaller valve effectively. We did a dyno test on a 8:1 compression 440 where we all we did was install a larger exhaust valve in the factory iron head and got a significant increase in horse power. With 2.25/1.81 valves in 906 heads on a 451 we just missed 700HP on 91 octane pump gas by 6HP. For those math challenged the 451 made 694HP. Basically the same engine with ported 2.25/1.81 RPM heads made 787HP.

If you do not reshape the throat after installing a larger valve you will probably reduce airflow through the cylinder head.
