Agreed. A blown application like yours is one of the few where I would definitely consider a 3-grind, and in this case, it's nothing to do with flow around the valves, but because it should create a better seal if the seats are properly ground too. Even or someone running 11lbs of boost like you, I still say 5-angle is way overkill. May as well throw your money away. Or give it to meeeee.

I would suggest sticking to 3 angles on Honda heads. There isn't much material and a 5 angle tends to wear faster.

yeah, I always heard 5 angle valve jobs wear a lot quicker.
