CF valves??
Has any one heard of this!? My room mate just showed me a picture of Braided, carbon fiber valves for automobiles!!
They are supposidly heat treated and like 10x stronger then steel... And of course ever so much lighter. Anyhow, when he get done reading the mag I'll scan the article

Even if its true, it would not be worth the money. I could only see it for racing only.
