What should I do?
The machine shop called and said the intake valves only pull like 5psi of vacuum and immediately drop. This could be from extreme carbon build-up(bottom end looks very furry) or it could need a valve job for $285 with surfacing. Should I gut the 99 head with the SS valves and Supertech springs and swap that **** over for an additional $100 in lash-labor? Does anyone want to buy that 2-day old head for the cost of the valvetrain +$200 or so ($800)?
What would you do?

K-Sport.
800/500lb set up with the full treatment of dual springs with torringtons as well. I cannot wait to get this car on the roughest tracks. Hallett is going to be cray this year, ya'll.
