Since you are reducing base circle you have to check Lifters to make sure you do not run out of Lifter uncompressed Height.

See 10 Posts regarding Lifters/Valves/Camshafts LT5 New Rebuild Issues (Lifters and Camshafts)

And......since you now have more Valve Lift you have to check Camshaft Timing to make sure you do not have Valve Interference with Pistions at TDC (the Eyebrows)
