It's a good idea just to update most of the valvetrain components while you are upgrading and have the valve covers off and the springs out. How many miles on the motor?

Oh damn, then I would replace them. You might wanna think about your retainers also...

well rods will depend on the cash at the time. but i thinkthe spring kit i bought has retainers as well.
i am not used to such a weak valvetrain, and i always push the limits on whatever i do. poeple said a TBI motor valetrain is no good after about 4500rpm. i had a larger cam in my TBI, and was turnin almost 6000 rpm on it with no problems. stock springs, stock pushrods, stock retainers. all on a 160k motor lol.
