Re: general question
In most cases it's recommended you upgrade the valve springs as well, to ones that can take the abuse of a high-lift cam. Retainers and such is up to you, people have mixed opinions of these.
Some aftermarket cams, if not very aggressive, may not require new springs. It varies by the setup.
