Default Cheap STS kit

Hey guys i have the chance to pick up a Silverado STS kit for $1,000. How much work would it be to put on my 98 Z28. I've never seen the two kits side by side but i would imagine they're fairly similar? Maybe just different piping? So i guess my question is, would it be worth picking up at this price?
Also i have stage 2 Patriot heads that have been decked, stock pistons and stock bottom end. I am only planning on 4-5 psi, but he might have a meth kit to go with it. will my motor hold up? Let me know what you guys think. Any help would be great. Thanks!!

Well I would think ALL of the cold side piping would be different. Hot side might be the same but how would you know without seeing them side by side.
