Wait and install the ITR springs and retainers. Waiting and paying 130 later is cheaper then a engine rebuild.

, definately, if you can get them for 130 bucks, throw them in, and you'll be able to rev it out.

Shouldn't cost that more to get retainers installed @ the same time as the springs. Its all up to you. If you want absolute 0 problems then wait until you have all the ITR hardware to run the CTR cams.

They may charge a little more (Unless you know them real well) but its definently a insurance policy to upgrade your Springs and retainers to ITR's. Good luck

2 days??? is he wee-todd-did? we did cams and valvesprings in ~4hours! and that was taking our time. i was running ctr cams w/o valvespring upgrade and stock rev limit for ~10k miles, zero problems. when i upgraded to an ITR ecu, i put in itr valvesprings, kept the stock retainers. no problems
