Didn't have any luck with the question in my "project thread", maybe because not so many care to read it. So I'm trying here in a new thread instead. Hope that's not a problem. I'm sure the question have been asked a few times but couldn't find a good answer.
As some may know, I've had my share of bad luck (I think), and I'm now 90% decided to go for it and order InlinePro built shortblock. Will probably go for 10,5:1 compression, stick with OEM headgasket and use the FullBlown headstuds.
I will use the cylinder head I have already. I'll upgrade a bit though.

Recommendations on what to do? I'm thinking at least double valve springs and possibly titanium retainers. Anything else I should do when I'm there? Any recommendations on what springs/retainers? InlinePRO Springs & Retainers,Brian Crower or Ferrea beehive valve spring kit maybe?
And would there be any reason to go with bronze valve guides? Also thinking InlinePro TCT, btw...

Hope anyone have some input!

Ferrea everything over here, a lot of people run super tech without a problem but I've heard of a lot there springs breaking from builders, I have to much money invested into my shortblock so I went with ferrea. If you have the cash splurge on the ferrea stuff

I have full confidence in OEM if your sticking to 9k rpm or less. If your planning on making power past 9000rpm, then upgrade your springs to reduce the chance of valve float.

I just chose the BC titanium doubles...not going over 9k on purpose...but just in case.

Ferrea Comp plus vavles with BC duals w/ steel retainer Ill post pics of the head when it comes back from the machine shop.

not sure if i want a 9200 or 9400 redline now that I can support it.

Talked a bit with Trevor at Real Street on their Live help, and will probably go with his/their recommendation which is the Ferrea beehive springs and titanium retainers. Asked about the valve guides as well, and he said he would just skip it unless I'm changing the valves as well.
