Will i need vavle/springs and retainers?
Heres my setup:
Head:
P&P Ls head w/ valve job
Crowers 402's cams w/ skunk2 gears
skunk2 intake manifold
74mm TB
Nology Wires
550's (planning to upgraded) w/ Walboro 255lhp fuel pump etc....
Block:
Golden Eagle b18b1 Sleeve/bore/hone 81mm
Eagles Rods H-Beam w/ ARP Rod bolts
Wiseco Pistions
Micro crank all those little tihngs....
Custom Kit:
Garrett T04E 60a/r w/ Stage 3 turbine
SP Log Manifold
SP 2.5-3" dp all the way back
HKS BOV
Drag IC (planning to upgrade)
Tial Wastegate 38mm
Those are some of the major stuff, do i need to upgrade the valves/springs and retainers?? Im not planning to over rev it, but i want at least 350-400hp, i know that you dont need them unless you planning to rev over redline and some say you'll need it no matter what...so im confuse now....Big Turbos Guys i need some help. thanks

Upgraded valvetrain is always good for high hp setups whether its turbo or all motor.
Having a strong valvetrain will prevent valve float at high RPM. and especially when boosting, you want a bit more RPM over stock to take advantage of more boost.

Exactly. You put in so much money into your setup. a good valvetrain is a preventative measure since stock valvetrains have already gone through their wear and tear through the years.
