Fast Burns & Hot Cam on L98???

I have some fast burn heads on order and I already have the LT4 Hot Cam. I'm going to find some 1.6 rockers to go with it and upgrade to either SuperRam or First TPI injection (haven't finished my research)

Question is, is there any strong recommendations against adding this to a stock L98 shortblock out of a 88 vette? The above parts make up the zz430 but with a zz4 shortblock. I figured if my shortblock checks well on a leak down test, it should be similar build to the zz430.

If it helps, I plan on using this as a weekend street vehicle (no track days) and possibly commuting a few days a week, 35 miles round trip.

Thanks in advance

P.S. Used the search but couldn't find anything related. If I missed the right thread, plz point me in the right direction.

I say go for it. Any SBC in good health will stand up to the top end you have planned for it.
