But then I weigh that with what is the possibility of valve float with that low ratio upgrade. In trying to give this a great deal of serious thought, I think the most I would do is take out the 1.7's and put in 1.8's, and that would be a ways down the road unless I just found some 1.8's for a steal.

So, why for will you have a new set of CC 105 springs and retainers if you arent going to be using them? You gonna sell them?
I think you would be fine up to a 1.84 w/o valve float from what I've read.

I ordered a set of 1.9 modded stockers for my sons GTP during ZZP's woot sale and got, springs, retainers, rocker install kit for $3.

We have no intention of using any of that stuff except for the rockers. So yep I may sell the additional items to help offset what he had to pay for the rockers. The only thing potentially useful to me may be the springs, but I doubt I'll have to replace them on my car.
