be sure to upgrade the retainers too!!! more important than the keepers IMO. I'd just go titanium on both

We have them here on on our site.

We ran stock retainers and keepers on the black truck for 1 season running at 4k rpm. When we tore the motor down we threw the original head aside without inspecting it. Later in the winter we dis-assembled it and found 2 valves had nearly pulled through the stock keepers. This would have obviously been catastrophic. I recommend the billet retainers & keepers when running anywhere above 3700RPM sustained.

They are definitely cheap insurance against a dropped valve.

I got mine from Haisley. Titanium retainers, hardened keepers, and springs. Believe it was $435 shipped. Lots cheaper to buy them all at once. Had them at my house in 2 days.
