^^^^ Delete i found my answer thanks !

I jst got tlking one of my friends engine builder & told me i can use skunk2 valve springs with my stock retainers but advised me to replace my stock ones for new ones that way both retainers & springs are new & not one new & other starting to ware out..so i should be fine as long as i dnt rev past 9500 & for my purposes 9500 at the track...& daily driver 8500....

The older titanium retainers did have wear problems. You should inspect them for wear anytime the valves are adjusted. I have had Skunk 2 titanium retainers on my GSR since 2002. I have not noticed any issues, but I still inspect them. Some manufacturers added a nitride coating to reduce the wear effects of the titanium.
