I just got a itr head with new stock itr springs and retainers. I have toda spec C's. Since the springs are dual springs do I need aftermarket springs and T-retainers? Can the stock valve spring go past 8500rpms?

I wouldn't try it with C's. I ran a stock valvetrain with Toda B's, but kept away from the limiter.

 

Get some toda springs and keep the stock retainers so you don't have to replace them every 15 thousand miles and bounce the limiter all day long That is what I did with my B's and it's been running for about 15k miles no problems and I beat the **** out of it.

 

So what's the benefit of running T-retainers if the spring eat them up by 15kmiles?

 

thats why asshat suggested you run stock retainers

Lighter valve train so you can rev them a little higher. Mainly done for race engines. I would not suggest running them on the street. Do a search on retainers and you'll see alot of post about this problem.
