Newbie cam question, and yes I did a search. Ok I have decided to go with the TR224/224 112 cam. My question is do I need the titainium retainers? I know hardened push rods are a good idea, but on stock heads do I need to spend the extra coin on better springs and titainium retainers? TR has a kit with the push rods/springs/cam but the retainers are another $175.00. Do I really need these?

Thanks for your help guys. My goal for this car is just a little more power and a good lope as it is just my weekend "toy". I won't be racing this one at the track. I am going to do LT headers and LS6 intake when I do the cam. I will have to wait on heads untill next summer.
The car is fun to drive now and sounds great with the LM cat-back, I just want it to be a little nastier. Last dyno was 307.8 rwhp so I am hoping with headers/cam/LS6 to put down 360+. What do you all think?

You will like the cam. I have it, but I do not have the ls6 intake yet. I use 918's with the stock retainers, and have not had any problems. And I have run the car pretty hard. Have fun with the car once your done!!
