195 AFR Eliminators for 383 - other springs and retainers needed?
I got the 195 Eliminators for my Golen 383 a few days ago. Big thanks to Brian @ AD Performance for an outstanding customer service!
My cam is a Comp Cams custom roller cam
214/224 duration
.542/.579 lift
115 LSA
Are the AFR springs OK for my combo? AFR says they are good for .600 lift and with .579 I'm under it.
The readline will be a (sometime in the future supercharged) 6000 rpm.
Should I get Titanium retainers? Would save 8 grams per valve ...
Here are a few pics of the heads. I got the combustion chambers and valve faces coated by Swain Tech.

Damn, thats a beautiful head. Check with AFR and your cam manufacturer to see what they will recommend. They will need to be set up for correct seat/open pressures and coil bind. May be adequate as is but taking the extra time to make sure they are set up perfect for YOUR application will pay off inthe long run. Coating looks nice.
No need for the titanium stuff btw.

Those springs should work just fine with the mild camshaft you are going to be running. Also, if you only plan on turing it 6000 rpms, titanium retains aren't needed.

I hope the springs in the AFR 195 Eliminators will be ok. I just got a set myself.
I'm gonna be using a Comp Cams
230/230
0.598 " lift with 1.6 Comp Cam Pro Mags
I hope the .600" lift springs will be ok, since I'm under that, just barely.

I ordered a Canton road race oil pan and will use a Super Ram intake.
The rocker studs of the AFR heads are upgraded to 7/16" ARP studs.
I'll post pics as soon as I got the block out of the crate ...
