yes. Crower has a valvetrain for those cams.

 

yes crower has a valve train for those cams but i'm askin if the rev is stock limit not past 7000rpm is it neccasery like my buddy whos motor isnt the same stroke as mine he is reving 8500 to 9000 on his built ls so yeah dual valve springs an retainers are neccessary. but 7000rpm is it?

Do you have a block girdle??? Why only rev to 7k??

You need the upgraded springs and retainers because of the extra lift on teh cams.

Dont use crower retainers, they are poorer quality, I have seen the clips almost pulled through the retainers. REV makes a better valvetrain for the the same price as crower. So does supertech. both of which have been proven reliable to 10k not that you are going there but the piece of mind is nice.

Is this a fact? False information? Or bandwagon knowledge. My Crower valvetrain saved my motor from RPMs PAST 13,000...

So, I don't want to hear that crap unless you have facts, n00b.

 

what I am referring to is the metal, not the quality, poor choice of words. Titanium retainers are not good for daily driving, If you are gonna use the crowers get the chromoly retainers for upgraded valve springs. The titanium retianers wear thin and cause you to drop a valve.
