go ahead and run them..
valve springs and retainers would be a good idea though.. and keep the rev limiter stock or lower it a tad bit. you don't want to drop a valve

They should be fine. If you check the spec on Pro 1 & Pro 2 then the degree's are not that far from each other, hence the Pro's 2 advance the top end hp & torque by further 700RPM. Tuning them for idle is another story though. I got Pro's 1 in mine, wanted Pro's 2 but by time I called my supplier again he has already shipped me out the Pro's 1 and he said they will work fine on my boost application.

Are more agressive cams with uprated valve train not recommended to be rev'd hard then?
I've got Pro's 1 with complete Skunk2 valve train inc springs, valves & retainers. However I'm only runnin 7500RPM cause its a new engine, once I completed 500+ miles and dynoed I'll increase rev to 8300 - 8700. I guess again this also depends on driving style, faster speeds will need either high revs or longer ratio transmission, I was running out of the 7500RPM by 150mph.
