Yeah, you can get on it if you want, it won't hurt anything. You won't have the power your expecting until tuning.

Why estimate the number, the vette doctors will tell you after they tune

I have that cam. See sig for numbers with heads and 3.90 gears. Minus 40 RWHP for heads and you should be about 380-385 RWHP. I was 370RWHP with the TR224, all the bolt ons and stock heads. TSP said the 228R was good for about 10 RWHP more then the TR224. If you get a good tune, you'll enjoy the new power.
