Yes with you Mods you should.Just remember that you have to change the valve springs if you use 1.6 RR.

Very much worth it to get some 1.6 rollers, yes the stock springs must be replaced with something better or you will coil bind.

Being you have not put a cam in YET , I would think LT4 springs would work fine. You could also just save and do a cam and springs swap. (matched of course)

Some full roller CC magnums would be nice. Do a search. And if you go larger than the Hotcam, you will be replacing springs again.
