I would think you could use your stock retainers though.

With an ls6 cam don't think you'll be spinning the motor to 7k so youll be ok, if you plan on turning some rpm's I would consider lightening up the valve train with some better keepers and retainers

Kinda off subject, but you should probably reset your autocorrect. Apparently, you must text "gay" alot.
