Which valvesprings/retainers?

I'm going turbo in my GSR and the motor is in pieces right now, ready to get cleaned up, and put back together. My mechanic says to go ahead and get some valvesprings and retainers before the rebuild. I'm gonna run a GT35R, on stock GSR cams. Which valvesprings can I safely use, that aren't too stiff for my stock cams, but will still allow me to rev it out? Ti retainers? Thanks fellas.

IMO, ferrea makes some of the highest quality valvetrain components, they have never let me or any of the other car doctor cars down. Can't say the same about some of the other companies.

No difference, but them spring pressure went away on them very quickly. We tested them after the motor was torn down, haven't had any problems w/ the supertechs.
