Valve spring keepers??
pretty sure about this but,
I recently purchased some supertech dual valve springs and retainers..
reusing my stock valve keepers should work perfectly fine.. am I right?
Just making sure before I mess up these pretty springs

Does the spring kit and or cam information state that you should upgrade the keepers? if not, I don't think I would worry about it.

Keepers dont come in Ti.. They are steel.. Most spring kits dont come with them.. Ferrea is 1 of the few that does..

Your keepers should be fine reguardless of the HP you have in your engine. Although Ti keepers would be a good conversation piece, that's about it.
I work with engines running over 3400HP and 13,000 lb/ft or torque, we only use high quality steel keepers (Ti is only for weight saving race cars).
