Default 40k on valvetrain....what to do????

I have roughly about 40k on my aftermarket valvetrain and i'm looking at freshing it up. Who or what company should i look at in doing so?? I heard Patriot never had any problems out of the gold series. Any suggestions guys???

Depends on the lift of the cam and what springs are currently on there

I'd get these personally

Those are what I'm running. But if I were you, I'd replace whatever you have now with whatever is in there. If it has been fine for 40k, there must not be a problem with it.
