can EOM retainers be used with dual valve springs and crower 402 cam?
just wandering if you must upgrade from stock retainers to titanium if you run the crower 402 turbo cams, dual valve springs, and redline at say 8k.
1995 B18B engine.
T3/T4E 58 .48trim turbo
sp prototype 1 manifold
eagle rods
aris 9.1:1 comp
crower or ferrea springs (trying to keep initial cost down but want springs in now cause its easy to do with the head off.)
Goal is 350hp daily and when we want more ill add
crower 402 cams, blox intake manifold, larger TB
May get Golden Eagle sleeves, not sure if funds will permit at this time.
Thanks for the help.

Yes sorry for the typo.
Cams are stock. For now. just trying to spread out the cost of the build rather than having a huge bill upfront.

When your boosted turbo cams help more than an agressive n/a cam. plus im non-vtec. can't use GSR, ITR, or CTR cams.

Re: can EOM retainers be used with dual valve springs and crower 402 cam? (Snail Tuning)
I am running Crower Valve springs on my b16 head w/OEM retainers and gsr sticks. 9k.
For what it's worth, imo, if you are using a cam with a low profile, I believe you can get away with it if you aren't reving to the moon.
If you start bumping up to a higher ramp, you are putting more strain on the compenents, I'd certainly upgrade.
Again, just my opinion.
