Are just upgraded valve springs fine for Buddy Club 3+ in my b18c? Or do I have to upgrade the retainers also? I heard I would be fine even just upgrading to Type R valve springs. I wont be revving past 9k.

setup
b18c (25k miles)
Chipped p28
i,h,e, skunk2 mani, resonated test pipe

 

bump

 

stock retainers will be fine unless they have a lot of wear.

 

might as well change ur ret. for peace of mind man...

 

I think if you are just going to 8500 you will be fine. if higher consider it.

 

cool guys thanks... So I assume that springs and retainers are a must for 9k redline...

 

no matter what you will have to upgrade your valve springs. ITR valve springs would be fine for those cams.

 

do you like those cams? I was trying to decide between those and skunk2 and cant make up my mind. Your opinion since you actually own them would be appreciated.

 

what are the lift and duration specs of these cams....it is the amount of lift that determines how hardcore your valve springs must be.

 

Someone here has a great thread on these cams. There a good medium between skunk2 stage 1's and there stage 2's. ITR valve springs should do me just right..thanks guys...
