Default valve upgrade?

If Im going to run the JUN 3's, with Crower springs/retainers, is it necessary to upgrade the valves as well? Or are the stock valves fine for now? I always hear about people getting more aggressive cams and needing the titanium retainers and spring, but I dont hear much about the valves. thanks

dont need to upgrade valves if you already have ITR valves. Be careful for oversized valves that you dont go to big, especially with the long duration cams you are using

what if I raise the rev limit to 10k? Are valves needed then? Obviously Im not going to raise the rev limit just because I got the JUN 3's like some ****** ricer who has no clue, I plan to do it right, just trying to get a good idea what im gonna need. thanks.

that is a question you should ask JUN. I dont think you will make power up to 10k (If and when you do I am pretty sure you would have lighter valves and a different cam setup)

Stock valves will work fine up to 10000.
