I ordered the Titanium retainers for my car today. It'll go along with my Crane cam 12, valve springs, etc. My mechanic talked me into ordering them b/c the cam is about double as large as the stock one. It'll be way safer w/ the addition of the titanium retainers. I'll be posting pics. soon.

 

cool i wanna hear the results because im thinking about doing the same thing did you get the head rebuilt kit from modernperformance?

 

If you dont mind me asking, how much did everything set you back? Did you get the gains you were expecting?

 

No I didn't get the top end kit. I ordered my stuff from Modern and Howell.
The car is still being worked on so there are no results yet. My engine is currently out of my car so I'm probably going to get the clutch and a few other things replaced.

 

are you porting and polishing the head aswell?

 

Not now. If I ever redo the pistons (bottom end) that's when I'll do that.

 

The Magnum springs and stock retainers have handled the Crane 0014 and bigger with no issues.
