You really should post your reasoning why rather than just saying 'no'. It's not very helpful.

Stock valve train cannot support the 12mm of lift.

Plus, the vendor recommends a upgrade.

Absolutely not!! That kind of lift and u are in danger of coil bind and or floating a valve which leads to catastrophic engine failure.. Anymore input needed???
Solutions
1. Fork out the money and purchase valvetrain
2. Settle for blox A's with stock valve train (which will probably serve you better anyway seeing that MOST people on HT throw the biggest cam made in their basically stock setup and then wonder why they lose a shitload of bottom and midrange power/torque

Just my opinion of course and yes I am a nobody so hey do what u were gonna do in the first place

Definitely don't do it. I have Blox B's, had them on the stock valvetrain for a year and dropped a valve cruising on the highway. Learn from my ignorance.

Reminds me of a kid earlier this week...some known shop maybe not really honda oriented had the kid run Skunk2 stg 2 cams in his clean DC GSR well...no valvetrain upgrade was recommended by the installer or the shop...the shop said dont take it past 7k you'll be okay...it's not the RPM it's the amount of lift...the head none the less probably the bottom is history (coil bind) broken valves... atleast 8 valves gone haven't gotten into it...expensive mistake...when upgrading to an aftermarket cams it's always a good thing to swap out your used OEM valve springs and retainers for stronger and of course the right valve springs for the job...even with stg 1 cams...it's a good idea...

Please see the link I posted earlier.

That is the most definitive answer available, period.
