Stock springs and retainers are fine as long as you don't plan on exceeding the factory rev limit.
If you plan on wringing out that BBK, then yes, you'll need to upgrade. I hear the Beehives are pretty good, but have no first hand experience with them.

thanks guys, i've decided just to do the springs and retainers. can you guys recommend a great set?
right now im looking at the Supertech Valve Springs/Retainers.... problem is im having a hard time deciding if Dual Valve Springs are worth the extra $$$.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Supertech Dual Valve springs with Ti retainers. Great setup and will handle whatever cams you throw at them later on down the road.
The factory springs are beehive springs so don't let people tell you that you NEED beehive springs! You already have them! LOL Just FYI the BC replacement single springs only have like 3 pounds higher seat pressure than the stock stuff. Most people replace the stock springs when they get into a cam that might cause coil bind do to excessively high lift. Check out what is available and make your decision based on what you are comfortable with and what is in your budget. Also take into account the Cam manufacturers recommendations.

i really dont want to cheap out on this project... ive cut corners in the past and it's bitten me in the @ss. i'd rather be patient, save up and get what works best rather than rush it and end up fixing stuff later on.
i decided on purchasing the Supertech DUAL Valve Springs and Retainers. I will take pictures of my progress and will keep you all updated.
Thanks for helping me with my decision. Kelford 272 Cams, BBK as well as all the mods in my sig should put a smile on my face when all is said and done.
