Time for an update.

I installed the 60mm TB, and the full catback. Car is running pretty good. This is where Im going to need some help.

I got my cams, and Im going to start head work on my spare head. Im pulling everything off it, cams, valves, and brining it to a shop to first get checked, and then ported and polished. In the mean time, Im going to order these valve springs.

My question is, should I also get TI retainers? Im only planning on taking the engine up to its stock redline, like 7200 or so. This is what I found.

The only thing that makes me shy away is the steep price tag.

So after I get the head back, cams and springs installed, Im going to pull the motor out of my car. Put the motor on a stand, pull the head off, swap head with ported/polished/cam ready head. Install my UDP and put it all back in. Sound like I know what Im doing?
