Default OEM Retainers, Blox Springs, Blox b Cams

So i searched a couple topics and had a few answers but nothing really definite and i just want to make sure this is okay.

I want to run blox b cams and blox springs but i do not want to run TI retainers. Is it okay to use oem retainers?

From my search some people say yes and a lot of people say get the whole valvetrain. But in my case its not even a budget issue. My car is a daily and i dont want to deal with bs from ti retainers.

well im talking about having to inspect and if necessary replace the retainers due to wear as opposed to running the oem retainers.

I do not have any concern reving up to or around 9k anyways.

Anyway, OEM retainers would be fine to run, but i chose to go with TI. Then again, I went with all Crower w/ a Zex Cam.

If the car makes power to 9k, that's why it would rev to 9k. I am not saying his car will with those cams but the question was rather rediculous.

There you go bud...changed it just for you.

Of course if his car is making power to 9k then sure...rev it out. But i made that statement based on the mods he had, and I def didnt see a reason to rev that high.
