OEM style valves - SBI vs Melling

I'm FAR from a flow expert, but I fail to see how the step on the chamber side of that intake valve could in any way impede flow. Since the intake flow is coming from the other side, that step has no bearing on flow, IMO. So I'm not sure I would include the step in my decision process. Maybe @MOPAROFFICIAL will chime in. He's forgotten more about cylinder head flow than a lot of people will ever know.

You would be surprised at what can actually impede flow , I`ve helped my head man and long time personal friend (18 time national record holder) on 3 diff. sets of heads , (mine) , all flowed after and before , a little thing the size of a hangnail can affect flow a bunch !!
