There are plenty of better ways to release a few bhp before you'll start needing titanium valves.

Fella in the UK called Paul Ivey does stainless valves, made them for Longmans (BTCC cars etc) but last time I made contact with him (about a year ago) he has sold all his big valve sets and siad he would need a confirmed order for 15 sets (240 valves!) to cover the cost of setting up the tooling to make them again. Not worth it unless you are already knocking on the door of 270 BHP N/A.
