[QUOTE="Cody Dawson, post: 1558834, member: 33186"] 1. Benefit of titanium retainers is simply in reduction of weight which increases spring life and reduces wear on the valve, valve seat, and valve guide. 2. Both engines were blown up before building them and I didn’t have any dyno graphs. The main point of my engine program is to gain reliability at higher boost/power levels. I can easily have my guys back me up on this. 3. Life expectancy is for the life of the engine, the high grade titanium outperforms most tool steel retainers. I use the same material retainers on my import engines that see over 9,500rpm on the street/track. Sidenote: The technology and practices that go into these heads are backed up by years of experience in many forms of racing. These same practices are used in the shop racecar that sees 11,500 rpm and makes 1,500whp with 2.0L and 75lb of boost. If my valvetrain tech survives the B series Honda, it will work for virtually anything. [/QUOTE]
