I had the supertech in my last build and I pulled it last season to start another build, we found a supertech spring snapped in half. I have switched to Ferrera now. Had Ferrera been a choice of mine while looking at valve train components I would of choose Ferrera hands down.

I would try to match the valve train (valves, springs, retainers) to the same manufacturer of the cams. They were designed to work together, you'll probably see the best results by sticking with one company.

We use both companies for builds, in order to choose a specific one you have to look at what the intention of the build is .

It'd take any other valve than Ferrea's low end 5000 series valves. They are extremely heavy and have no frills. That forces you to move up to the comp or comp plus series if you want a performance valve. And now it's twice as much money than the standard Supertech valves which are nitrided intake and inconel exhaust. Make sure you are comparing the same features.
