springs and retainer help?

i've been looking in to a few springs and retainers... and i can't find out what i'm really looking for.... am i looking for which one can handle the best lift?


i'm planing on staying stock turbo or maybe fpgreen... but thats it.... i just got revolver cams.... and looked into the beehive springs... are these safe to run without retainers?!!?

or should i go with supertech single? or bc springs and retainers?

cam spec's...
Duration / Intake: 262º
Duration / Exhaust: 264º
Valve Lift / Intake: 11.4 mm
Valve Lift / Exhaust: 11.5 mm
Notes: Hydraulic lash, no adjustment necessary
Additional Required Items: Revolver Valvespring and Retainer

if i get the beehive springs... would they be okay to run on stock retainers? (if gsc greg could chime in..)

because the bc springs and retainers are the almost the same price as the beehive... not sure thanks

Springs and retainers.
Those cams are overkill for a stock or even stock-like turbo though. Unless of course you're looking for max/peak hp.

why not go with cams with a little less lift and little more duration. You need nearly that much life with a green. I say go with sueprtech duals, if you want to be safe, go with the high tension version

theyre not overkill i would go with more duration. and also just get retainers i think gsc has some singles for 270 or less or duals for 300 you just have to look

i'm trying to get in touch with greg at gsc... but on fp website.. it says that the beehive are designed to be used with stock retainers... and also on gsc website... it also says you can rev up to 9k with stock retainers... ( of course your bottom end would go by then... but i dont' plan on going that high on stock turbo anyway...

i guess my question is...

bc vs beehive?
