I can't remember if the MP retainers are larger than stock but they are
stronger. I used the same springs you have and the P4452032 retainers when
I was running the R/T cam. No problems. If you don't already have the
retainers, I have a complete new set, in original packaging, for sale for
$60.00 plus shipping. I bought them for another set of heads with
different valve springs but they didn't give enough installed height. Had
to buy a different brand. Write me off list if you want them.
