If your going to get all crazy then get really crazy and get Coates heads! Spherical valves rock! I have seen a set of these heads do 16K rpms and the connecting rods went. Klien Racing here in AZ was testing them for usage in a high speed turbo motor for the salt beds!

That Coates setup is amazing. I wonder how they get the "valves" to seal tight enough to get good compression when the valve is closed. I would think the seal, whatever it is, would wear quickly.
