yea they might be a little too big to rev with the itr stuff. i think u can use portflow inner springs and itr outer springs and ull be fine.

also what compression is the motor? IMO stock compression motors such as the gsr and B16 didnt seem to like the cam as much as a motor with something slightly higher than 11:1

and yes you will want to swap springs and retainers as the lift is high enought to bind some stock springs and also the seat and spring pressure is not really strong enough to close them fast enough at higher RPMs

You may want to sell the cams, springs and retainers and go with the buddy springs and retainers. BC was having a hard time shipping retainers. and if they still are out of stock the KMS titatiums are a perfect snap fit for the buddy springs. A tear down after about 5,000 miles showed they did not move or wear at all on the springs.

A little more compression would help, but if you don't want to pull the motor, you could do a thinner head gasket.

^^^ +1 i was gonna say some flat faced bc valves and a bc head gasket n valve train would really be the best way to go with that itr and those cams. the head flows well enough as is. thatd be a great motor with that setup.
