WC Franklin Co., In.
What is the intended use for this engine? The biggest mistake people make when building a performance engine is the BIBS (Bigger Is Better) mentality. You will see nowhere near 100HP out of larger valves unless this is a maximum effort, highly tuned engine where the valve size is your limiting factor, and if that is the case, you wouldn't be asking that kind of question in the first place. If this is for a pickup truck or street performance, forget about the max HP number and concentrate on the torque you can get out of it in the rpm range you will run it. Torgue is what accelerates you, not HP.
