As EsChassisLove have discuess through PM, the best way to fly is oddly the cheapest; that is the Jim Wolf S3 cams (while expensive initially) are the best to run as they will cost you less in the end. By far they make the most torque and power, and only require stock valvetrain to make it all work.
The best, and cheapest way to run is JWT S3. Anything is spending money where it doesn't need to be.
...with that said, if you DO want springs/retianers, run the same brand as your cams. Dont' fall into the cheapass trap of running BC stuff with high seat pressures and hoping for thebest.

Codyace, I know you're a respected member of this forum and may have had some experience in building your own SR's or other engines throughout your tuning life
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of how they want to build their car ... Putting in valve springs and retainers with a good set of cams ensures that the valves close on the proximate timing because the OEM valve springs do not have the spring rate as the aftermarket springs do ... BC are not known for their quality but what OP is aiming for is 400 BHP benchmark and that is plenty for that
OP can go out and buy the tomei valve spring set and spend a lot more money but since BC has worked for myself and many others that I know who run the same setup as I do, it is only wise for me to post what I know and have seen
I know you're a huge fan of JWT cams and have probably claimed that 10089529542389 times throughout this thread and many others ... I can respect that as well some people prefer one brand over the other ... In my personal opinion I think JWT cams are junk and I think canned tunes are the worst thing a person can ever do to their car but I've never discredited you when you mention they're the best
I'm not attacking you just letting you know that some people are entitled to their own opinions when it comes to building cars
cheers mate
