You shouldn't be revving it that high in staging, Victor. ;-)
Seriously, bent valves usually are a result of over-revving the engine. It could
be a sticking valve.
Step one would be to pull the cam cover and do a thorough inspection. Turn the
engine over slowly and watch the movenent of the valves. Step two would be to
run a compression check.
