If there is nothing wrong with your current valves, there is no need to replace them. Larger valves are available, but aren't required for making more power. Make sure you have bigger cams to accommodate the port work.

How many miles?

As a rule, I get SS valves when I replace them. Better strength and longevity and heat dissapation qualities.

IMO, I would replace them, unless there are very few miles on them. At this point you should also have the head looked at for a straight deck.
