Need some advice on 3 angle valve job. (Civic vx)

My current setup up is 91 Civic rt4wd (wagon four wheel drive) that I swapped in a d15z1 (Civic Vx engine) long block and I have converted it to obd1 to run the proper o2 5-wire and ecu (etc.)

I am in the process of finishing my spare d15z1 rebuild and just had a question about 3 angle valve job.

I am having my valves reconditioned and cylinder head valve seats recut, and then the guy doing them asked me if I wanted a 3-angle valve job that he would charge me the same amount (he is in school for this stuff and can do it at a discounted rate)

I'm just curious if it would be wise to get the 3-angle done or should I just stick to stock 45 angle seats?

I understand the 3-angle will increase the air flow (with less restriction) but wouldn't I need to to tweak the fuel to accommodate the extra air?

By the way the car is running code free, but I can tell the punk kid before me beat on the motor so I picked up this spare to rebuild.

Thanks,
Shane
