Default quick question about upgrading valve springs

ok i just bought a set of 260 Kelford cams and BC valve spring and retainers along with PTE 6266 and TT auto LSD. my question is do i need to upgrade the keepers/locks or will my stock ones be fine. going in a 2jzgte pushing around 500hp

also if there is anything i might need to upgrade let me know, like valve stem seals. kind of on a budget and time limit (import alliance) and i still need to get it re-tuned, thanks

Stock ones will be fine. I've been using my stock ones with the BC cams and BC valve springs for a while now and I haven't ran into any trouble.

Also, while the head it apart replace the valve seals. It will save you some headache down the road.
