low lift since gsr cams are not really high lift. Are you sure you are going to need to rev to 9500rpm

yea get springs and titanium retainers (you can run stock but I've seen one crack, and drop a valve. possibly due to a bent valve. very long story). You have to keep an eye on titanium retainers because they wear out with milage and will need replacment.

ok so get the low lifts with titanium retainers. but just replace the retainers every season. correct. Every like 5000 mile or so.
