Default Stick with Supertech or Switch to Ferrea?

Alright guys, Im about to place a big order to get the ball rolling.
I have searched and found a few relevant threads on the subject.
Im just looking for more recent info from the guys that have "been there done that"
What I have:
"Allenbuilt" 10:5:1
Cp pistons
Inline pro rods I think?
Supertech springs/retainers and Inconel exhaust valves and the regular supertech intake valves
Full Race manifold/downpipe
Precision 67/68 BB
K-Pro with all sensors and harness( selling to get Aem v2)
Dual Bosch 044's ( intank hanger)
Weldon FPR
Inline Pro fuel rail/egr blockoff
ID 1000's( selling to get 1300's)
Dual Tial 38mm gates
-8 feed -6 return
Tial 50mm BOV

Link to my build thread will a lot more info and pictures:

My question is at my 800+whp power goal would you guys feel safe running the Supertech stuff?
Should I go all Ferrea when I pull it apart?
Im also switching from the dual Bosch 044's and going with the Full blown dual hanger and dual 340 pumps.

I would check to see which retainers are in the motor, the titanium ones wear out after time. Replace them with steel.

You'll get a big favoritism for Ferrea on this forum, however Supertech is a huge company and does the valves for a ton of OEM applications. If it isn't broke, dont fix it!

Carey runs supertech if that means anything lol. I have heard some say Supertech's fail around 800hp but I think he's proved that theory wrong.

I've seen Raw(Uncoated) Titanium Retainers, Gall and thin out with alot of miles...

Other than that, don't fix something that ain't broke.

Pull the cover and inspect the retainers. However, do you have an idea how many miles are on the motor?

If i were you I would stay with the dual bosch 044`s and ID1000. Then you can just run like 100-130psi of base fuel pressure. If you switch to the fullblown double pumper the small 340 pumps dont like high fuel pressure so you may end up needing ID2000 for your goal. Just keep what you have... if anything keep the bosch pumps and upgrade the injectors. Your valvetrain is fine... dont bother replacing it unless they look worn or cracked
