Comp cams 981 Springs

Got some of these springs, will the stock retainers work with these? Or does anyone have some titanium retainers that will work? Thanks!

I'd just use a regular retainer and save the $$$ over the Ti.

Do yourself a favor and check the spring pressure at your installed height at a machine shop. I went through 3 boxes of those springs and never got enough springs worth putting on my motor. Some were 20# off on the seat pressure.
