dont have to... if you can get some ctr or itr springs and retainers that would be best but you dont have to upgrade them if you only plan to rev to stock

I hate when people say " if you only plan to rev to stock." That **** is annoying. Of course he not planning to rev to stock. There would be no point to do anything to the head. Or post this thread. Dude u lose 1000 cool points for that stupid as remark. But fa real. Since u getting those. Just go and get the ITR outter springs and the stock b16 retainers will be fine. Are u getting cam gears. If so don't waste your money on aem or some other brand just get the Toda cam gears. I did and had to give mine away for free. Trust they are well worth the price. Inline4 has them for 280.

Oh yeah. I would even touch the valves. But if u want some that are a little lighter go and get the ITR valves. I would was my money on doin that though. Keep everything simple less problems down the road. And if u need anymore help hit me up.

And sometimes people build the head for reasons other than reving higher. Like maybe making more power :O

well i do already rev higher than normal with the stock motor. but it seems that there is no power producing so i stop. what would be the max rev i can go with the ctr or itr. i really dont want to take the head off. if i do only rev to stock what would be the most i get out of it. mid 14's? oh yea i got a 99b16a2 basically stock. just s2 intakemani, cold air, headers, and a p28 chipped ecu

Well when u get your head completed. U should take it to get tuned. Then they can squeeze as much HP out of it they can. When the do that they will see where u stop making power and set your redline maybe 300 500 rpm higher than that. I have some what of the same set up but I have BC spec III's and a portflow port job to match my IM and headers. But with a stock bottom u should definetly shave a couple of tenths off you 1/4.
