Will a 5 angle valve job be suitable for street use? My dad said that the valve seats are too thin and that they will wear away. Please help I need to know as soon as possible. Thanks.

The valve seats are hardened, you'll be fine. What type of heads is this being done on? If stock, save your cash for at least some GT40's or GT40P's before throwing any money into them. You'll never get it back if you want to sell them, if they're just E7's. Just my two cents, which adjusted for inflation, you may actually owe me money.
