... retainers... (valvetrain on a budget)... gsr, itr, aftermarket
... i am gonna do a mild valvetrain upgrade and i was wondering what everyone recommends... this will be on a semi-built gsr block (je/eagle)... my goal is to hit 325whp...
... i am considering either:
- stick with the stock retainers (assuming they are still in good condition)
- upgrading to itr retainers
- looking at some decent aftermarket retainers (any recommendations?)
... lemme know what you think... thanks...

gsr and itr retainers are the same.
inspect your stock ones, get some portflow inner springs, and you are golden

Re: ... retainers... (sgT)
i second the motion of staying stock. Titanium is a soft metal....meaning retainers wear out much more quickly. I believe the current figure is inspection necessary every 15,000 miles. I personally am not a fan of tearing my head apart that frequently.
