whats the best retainers, and valve springs for this cam? Ive been told that the buddy club retainers dont last long!! is this true? so im was looking into the supertech and was wondering if this is a good choice thanks

 

Ferrea would be my choice, well built but a bit pricey. i got Skunk2 Valve Springs & Retainers for almost 6 months now and so far they have given me great performance and quality. i never heard anything bad about Buddy Club :shocked:

EDIT: :doh: ohh and i assumed you own a VTEC integra, what do you drive.

supertech is good stuff at pretty decent prices. titanium retainers are a wear item and as such should be inspected for premature wear every few thousand miles.

 

are there any better retainers to get?

 

unless you plan to rev to 9k the stock ones are fine. i have heard of crower chromoly retainers not wearing as fast as titanium, but no reviews on those yet.

there are also snap fit retainers that help reduce wear. i know omni and RM use snap fit designs.

 

My Supertech TI Retainers are a "snap fit" design. Both the inner and outer valve spring snap into place.
