You might want to consider a larger stem sodium filled exhaust valve---that skinny stem doesn't have a lot of material with that hollow stem and of course not much strength when hot( over 1000 degrees)

Most are going to stainless with no loss in RPM capabilities.

Your talking about rpm or breaking off of the valve head???

Both, the stainless valve is much less prone to breakage and a good quality light weight valve like Ferra's offerings won't decrease the engine's abilty to spool quickly, attain design max RPM and over stress the springs @ 7K. |

The stainless valve is not less prone to breakage just cause it is stainless---there are one piece, 2 piece and 3 piece valves----there has always been a big flap about one piece valves while in reality most are 3 piece----head spun welded to stem and a hardened tip--a one piece is very expensive as it is formed out of a big piece of bar stock or a very complicated forging process to make the head big on the end of a small diameter rod---
The sodium filled, hollow stem valves transfer the heat better to the guide so the head actually stays cooler and won't burn as bad. Going to say a 11/32 hollow stem/sodium filled with the necked down pro flow type head probably would be a better choice for a high heat engine.
Of course injecting some wator methonal mix thru the cylinder on the overlap could cool the head and valves-----

Quick update...
Ran into a little snag with the new Comp camshaft. The journals were .0008-.0009" over factory spec for an LS cam and it had .0015" runout on the center journal. Long story short, it wouldn't go in the block. (Yes, I eliminated the possibility of a bad cam bearing install by sliding a stock cam in....it went in as smooth as silk.)
Comp is making right on it....but it put a temporary pause in the mock up.
