The bottom end will consist of.

all machine work.
ARP head studs, metal head gasket.
Mods are

walbro 255hp
3inch turbo back cat delete.
SSauto chrome FMIC
1g blow off dodge modded.

I will be running a bigger turbo when i get more cash, was thinking of going with FP 30502. Will be running around 25-30psi on the turbo.
So i need some suggestions on the head, what type of valve springs are you guys running, retainers, valve guides? Thanks.

Brian Crower valve springs and retainers, maybe 1mm oversized valves.
Other than that, the stock 6 bolt head is good for 9's.

Ya, they actually say you can run the 272's on stock springs. For the 280's, you NEED the heavier springs.

I run Crower springs / retainers. I rev to 8500 at the track. I'm running HKS 272's. THey will be fine for you. Leave the rest of the head stock. I personally like 2G heads, and that is what I run. But that is a whole nother debate.
So yeah, some crower springs / retainers, and you should be set for plenty of mods to come.
