Stealth Heads Locks and Retainers - 02/05/15 01:52 AM

I'm about to buy the 10* locks and retainers for my car as it has 7* ones right now.
What is the part numbers for these:
http://store.440source.com/Comp-Cams-Super-Lock-11_32-10deg-Valve-Locks/productinfo/145%2D1002/
Then which ones are these. Should I get titanium ones or is that way overkill. Or just buy the best for when I get the heads ported by muscle motors?

Just wanting to make a big order from summit with a 10% coupon from a member here.
Thanks!!

overkill, needed only for the ultimate in weight savings and possibly titanium is much stronger than steel (I do not know). I'd talk to MM & see what they recommend for a regular steel retainer/other related items needed. There's gotta be other practical items you need or will need or think you need (the story of my life) that you can put on the coupon

That's what Im trying to avoid. I have until the 22nd to figure out more so I'm adding everything to my wish list to save them. but now I might be buying a car so I need to readjust what I "must have", hah.

And 10 degree locks aren't needed for most engines. Matter of fact, the steeper taper of the 7 degree locks holds them in tighter than the 10 degrees.
10 degree locks may be useful if you're running huge springs for a solid roller cam, to avoid the locks actually pulling through the retainer.
