It is never necessary, However it is always recomended.
When ever you can loose valve train weight you get increased RPM achieved before getting into valve float.
What springs are you using?

I didn't think there was that big of a difference until I held the stock retainers in one hand and then the Titanium retainers in the other. Theres a world of a difference in weight.

So say if I am getting an F11 cam and I don't really concern myself with the weight difference. I don't really need it then, right? Especially when I never even redline my car to begin with.
This has been a question I've wondered, myself.
