Valve Size? (083 heads)

Beginning port work on my cast iron L98 heads.
Buying Manley "Race Flo" valves. Want a recommendation for size...please

My setup:

383 roller short block
flat top pistons
CR maybe 10-10.5-1
cam ? LPE 211/219
Staying with Accel intake and LTRs with some port work and possible extrude honing.
SLP 1-5/8" shorties into (1) 3" pipe with a cutout.

Since the revs probably won't get too far over 5500, I was thinking staying with the stock 1.94/1.50 valve sizes. Avaliable sizes are 1.94, 2.00, 2.02, and 2.055 on the intake and 1.5,1.56, and 1.6 on the exhaust. I don't forsee going bigger on the headers. So maybe I should bump up the exhaust valve size.

1.94" and 1.60" will work nicely for you.
