E-mail Cindy (she runs FWDPerformance), but it probably just means they are literally 1mm larger than the standard 36.8 valves. Oversize valves would also required machining of the head I believe. Also make sure you are getting the right valves for the head you have, make sure to tell her in the e-mail what the casting number on the head is. This is important because the valves for the G and fastburn head have different stem lengths.

I may be wrong, but I don't imagine you'd see much gain from going with the oversized valves unless you also did some port work to the head to make it flow better. Plus you'd have the cost of machine work necessary to install them. If you're going to port your head while it's off, it might be something to consider though.
