if you have a big turbo you need the higher engine speed to take full advantage of the power capabilities from the turbo. it would be wise to upgrade your valve springs, valves and connecting rods if you haven't already done so.

big turbo+9500 rpm= you need ALOT more than just springs and retainers. Springs and retainers are needed for the rpm your looking for but I hope you have preped the block.

That sounds like a solid block, I assume this is a drag car.

If your worried about the mileage/condition of the head I would send it to a machine shop and have it checked for cracks and pressure tested. But for sure do the dual springs and retainers.
