Default Ti retainers

Are they available in the stock diameter? If so..could somebody please tell me where I can find them? I would like to run them with the 2002 LS6 springs.
Thanks!
Joe.

Hey Joe, I think the Comp Cams 772 ti retainers fit the stock spring diameter( at least from what I gathered reading all the descriptions I've been able to find)

Bob is correct. The Comp 772s (made for the 915/918s) are stock size.

I assume you guys are talking about titanium retainers? Can you guys explain to those of us who don't know, exactly what they are and how much they 'help.' ?

Thanks guy's! whats the specs for those Comp springs? are they Beehive type like the stock ones but a replacement/upgrade? Kenny, Light weight on the valve train = quick spool up and higher controlled rpm levels.

well as far as i know the benifits are 2 one they are lighter and with how fast they move that is usefull. 2nd they are stronger for the stiffer springs of like heads and cam setups

hope that helps

Joe, the 915 and 918 are both ovate wire (ala LS6) beehive style stock replacements so you can go to them w/o having to cut the heads. Comp says they'll support 0.625 up to 7500RPM! The 915s are straight stock replacements and the 918 are intended for high load and have higher seat pressures - ~25#. Go here for the Comp catalog page with full specs.
