Do you have any idea whether larger valves could be fitted economically?

The two basic benefits of the aluminum head are less weight and better heat
dissipation allowing you to run higher compression.
The weight probably would only matter to a racer.
Other benefits over a stock head would depend on the valves and how the head
flows. It is probably an improvement of a stock head but from what I've been
told, the APT head flows better.
I have the Pierce head but only have a couple of hundred miles since
installation.
