l98 question for a buddy..

my friend has just ordered a 274 duration, 502 lift roller cam for his 89' l98 with alum. heads.. only other mods so far are K&N's and a airfoil, coming along after the cam we were lookin at heads ported and polished and a freeer flowing exhaust.. now my question this cam still seems a bit radical for this setup.. any opinions/suggestions?

seems pretty big to me, and you'd need to have screw in studs and larger springs, i'd say you'll have problems with the knock senser too
