I think this is better sutied to the Technical forum.

dont get them..u dont need it...the stock will be enough.
i heard the titanium retainer wont last as long as they are lighter and wear out quicker!!!. reason why race cars have them is because they have money to frequently change them..

Arent retainers "half the show" with new cams ( especially lumpy's like TODA c's).

To the best of my knowledge , any cam upgrade - from mid-level to upper ( for example toda spec b + c) requires a full valve , spring and retainer set upgrade yes ?

[Trust-Me]

sorry bennjamin, ur correct...didnt notice it was spec Cs...thought it was the normal spec As....but yeah damn Spec Cs there pretty lumpy cams!!! def need the upgrade!!!
