Thoose with 918's are you useing the titanium retainers?? Are they a waste of money or are they actually worth it?? I would figure just save a hundred or so bucks whatever they are and just use the stock retainers....just curious why one would choose them over the stock retainers
Thanks for any help

Re: Thoose with 918's are you useing the titanium retainers?? Look at it like this, you dont need them but it takes more strain off your valve train and lets it rev that much quicker with that much less weight.It will last a little longer IMO if everything else holds its own.I would buy them personally I mean no need to skim around on the motor.

I would say about 3 772 Ti retainers for the weight of 2 stock retainers. I went with the Ti retainers plus 918's and currently rev up to 6800 rpm.
