H/C car combo

Hey guys, here this next spring I am going to do a heads and cam swap, I have pretty much narrowed it down to tsp 228r or the torquer v2 cam with ls6 2.5 heads or going with a custom eps cam around the 226/234 duration specs and finding some 243's and sending them off to get ported by AI. My question for everyone is that I will still be using the stock 10 bolt on street 275 tires. How well do you guys think the rear will hold up as I continue to use these street tires? Eventually I will upgrade to a 9 inch but thats down the road. Also would it be wise to do any suspension upgrades to prevent breaking the rear? Thanks guys I look forward to hearing any input!

I've known guys who's rear held up with more mods, but remember, you're on borrowed time. I've also seen a cam only kill the rear on one really hard highway pull.
