but these are race parts... i thought they are supposed to deliver higher performace than stock for a similiar cost for an unlimited amount of time and i never have to replace them....and when i melt them they turn to gold!

http://www.corrosionsource.com/handb.../cps_a_frc.htm

Fretting corrosion is corrosion that can occur on the load bearing contact surface between mating material. It is caused by the combination of corrosion and the abrasive effects of corrosion product debris often seen in equipment with moving or vibrating parts. Other problems induced by fretting corrosion include: surface pitting. seizing and galling of mating surfaces. reduced fatigue life as a result of stress concentrations produced on the metal surface.

did all the retainers look like that? is it from the intake or exhaust side? how many miles? how many retainers ended up like that? that's some wear and tear.

you dont want to use aftermarket springs with stock cams.
You will just lose power. no real advantage with stock cams

I want to raise the fuel-cut limit to 9100 rpm.

My ITR goes really fast to the fuel cut off in all gears at 8650 rpm, i want to raise it a bit.
I want to raise it safely.

Do you think i´ll lose hp ? what do you mean ?

stock cams require stock springs.
more spring pressure = more work to move the valves = less power output
stock springs are all you need.
