Well I am doing a pretty big build this season and for a quick mod list here it is.

- 35hta
- .20 over ross/wiseco
- 1000cc injectors
- fully built head ported n polished with 272,272 combo
- JMF SMIM

Those are the main things. My debate right now is on what springs/retainers to go with. I am on the stock 2.0 and probably won't be doing a stroker on this motor. I am planning on revving pretty high when at the track, but mainly it will be kept under 4k for normal driving 90% of the time. I am undecided on if I should take up an offer someone gave me on the crower springs/retainers with low miles on them for $150, if i should get some manley springs/retainers, or if I should just build it the best way the first time and just get some Kiggly springs, but I don't think they come with retainers so i would still need to get some decent ones and I am once again at a loss. What do you guys think if I want to be revving up to/higher than 9k?
 
Yeah any single performance spring will do the job(BC, Crower, Manley) You have no need for duals. What do you mean by reving pretty high? high as in what? 7500? 8500? 10K?
 
Well I just got an offer on Ferrea dual springs/retainers and 1mm over valves...he is asking $400 but I am going to see if I may be able to get them a little bit lower. I think these will be a good match for either the t4z hta88 or the BWs366
