A longer rod will give you much better performance than a 2.055-inch valve will ever get you. All said, you will not go wrong by opting for 2.055-inch valves over 2.02-inch valves. However, the same time/money spent in other areas will likely generate better results.

To me, if you can make the same power with a 6,000 rpm 406 and a 7,000 rpm 355, then the 355 is more likely to break bottom end parts due to rpm.
