Why not just use your stockers??

If you just wanna spend money here ya go for retainers:

oh ok wasn't sure if the beehives had a different retainer shape or anything...

GOOD TO KNOW!

Are there any REAL benefits to titanium retainers with a 224 cam/DD carI am on a strict budget and unless the titanium is THAT neccesary, I will stick with stock!

I would only get the tit. if they cam in a kit I bought or if I was running a bigger cam @ higher RPM's. Other than that, I'd use the stockers.

If you don't already have the 918's I wouldnt get them. They switched manufactuers on the springs and started having problems.
