Are titanium retainers worth the extra $$
I'm looking to install a cam... are titanium retainers worth buying? This is going to be on stock heads with 918 springs and probably a TR220/220 .553 cam. TIA!

Ti retainers are nice to have but you will not notice a difference if you go with the steel retainers on your 918s. The 918s are a bee hive spring with a small retainer, the difference in weight between the steel and ti retainers is small and you will not notice a difference in performance.

Re: Are titanium retainers worth the extra $$ (KKu77)
I have the Titanium retainers in my car and I relied on A&A to do the work.I also have the Comp Cam 220/220E-XR installed in my car.The car idles ALMOST like stock.Just a ever so slight lope,not really noticeable.The LP Headers with the GHL Exhaust is rather loud,but most people say it sounds great.I feel that Andy knows more of what is a good combination then most people do so it was his decision to use the above combination and he was correct. :chevy :chevy :flag :chevy :chevy
