Default B16A2 upgrade valvetrain question

hey what's up everyone, i did a search on this topic, but couldn't find anything. i am planning to install some skunk2 stage 1 cams in my b16a2 and while i was at it, upgrade my valvetrain (valvesprings, titanium retainers). i read up somewhere about (don't hate if this is wrong) "dual valvesprings." does the b16a2 have a dual valvespring setup? when i buy the valvesprings, am i going to have to look for dual valvesprings? or do i just buy valvesprings as is?

also when i was looking at some titanium retainers, i noticed they only came in a pack of 16. isn't each set of valvesprings (inner/outer) 16 springs? equaling to 32 springs? so would i need to buy 2 sets of titanium retainers? that's pretty much it. sorry if this was long for some people... but i'm a little confused at the moment, and any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks a lot!

the skunk2 kit comes with dual valvesprings. dual valvsprings consist of an inner and outer spring, so you only need one retainer for each valve. also, get the stage 2 cams, they'll give you a much larger power increase and are still very streetable, thats the same set up im going with, and you might as well replace your valves and head gasket while youre at it.
