    Hi I am going to be running an xp cam and double roller soon. The heads I bought have pbm 110# springs and pbm retainers. Does anyone know if I can run 130# comp cam springs with the pbm retainers.

    THX, jake

    I ran Manley 130's with their Titanium retainers.

    I'd recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.
