    Ti retainer for otherwise stock z06

    ok...not quite stock...motor has a GT2-3 cam and ported head, but only fresh ls-6 springs which LPE reccomends with this cam....

    are you guys aware of a Ti retainer that works on the stock valvespring?

    thanks

    Im sure comp makes some. I dont know the part number off hand though. Did they say that the springs were fine, but not the retainers?

    they said it was all fine...but i have new springs, and know that valvetrain stability will improve with lightweight parts...so what the hell. still running the hollow stem valves, and figured lighter couldnt hurt.

    ti retainers are a waste on a non racing car if you ask me.

    If you go for a long periods with high rpm, 6500+, or short periods of more than 7000, then titanium retainers are a must.
    ofcourse titanium valves are better.

    Call comp, they have a set, they also have offset retainers, but you dont need them, if the standard springs work.
