Supertech Black Nitride Intake Valve 2.060"x.3138"x4.895" for Small Block Chevrolet LS1
$21.10

If you're diving into the world of performance engines, you’ve probably heard of Supertech Performance. With over 20 years of experience under their belt, they’ve been crafting racing valves that really stand the test of time. They don’t just churn out products; they put in the work, testing rigorously and collaborating closely with engine builders. The goal? To deliver top-notch valves that meet the needs of every application out there.

Black Nitride Coating

Now, let’s talk about something that sets these valves apart: the black nitride coating. It’s not as common as chrome, but it’s gaining traction, especially among folks working on European and Japanese engines. Why? Well, this treatment boosts the microhardness to a minimum of 800HV, which is tougher than the stainless steel base. What does that mean for you? You get a valve that keeps its cool under pressure while maintaining good ductility beneath that hard surface.

The finish is smoother compared to chromed stems, which means less friction between the valve stem and guide. This is especially important because higher RPM engines can suffer from power loss due to internal friction. With the black nitride layer, you’re looking at reduced friction, which translates to better performance and efficiency. Plus, it’s durable enough to handle lead-free fuels, alcohols, nitro, and other high-octane mixes without breaking a sweat.

One of the standout features is how the nitrided layer is bonded to the valve at a microscopic level. This means it won’t flake off or break when things get a bit rough—like when valves bend after a piston impact. Unlike chrome, which only coats the stem, the black nitride treatment covers the entire valve. And to top it off, these valves come swirl polished, have a stem undercut, and feature a hardened tip, making them a solid choice for any performance build.
