Default Titanium valve retainers and valve springs

I searched the go fast lab and bulletproof automotive's site, and could only find toda springs with no details about them, anyone know where to get stronger retainers and springs that will withstand higher rpm's before valve float? I'm trying to get the retainers asap, all this talk of split retainers worries me

Some of the guys over in track may be able to get you a vendor. I believe a few of them have switch over to Ti. How about Bill's recommendation of AP2 retainers?

Bill, please let everyone know that everything is going to be alright!

Call Earl and ask him. A few people on this Forum are using them with their rev limiter set to 9200 rpm.
