Default need a little advise

ok my parts are starting to roll in and i had an idea last night. im on somewhat of a budget. i have already went way over budget with this build and am trying to reign it in. i have a lq4, with prc ported l92 heads, l76 intake with 40lb injectors. my first question is a little complicated. i had planned on running the tsp torquer 2 cam. but the guy on the phone from tsp said its a little to big for the l92 heads. but i have seen guys on here with ls2's which have higher compression pistons running this cam. its not the end of the world as i also have a 224 cam that i was running in my ls1. so let me have your thoughts on the cam situation
the other question is, since i am putting a ported and shinned ls6 oil pump from tsp, i had thought about replacing the crank bearings and throwing some arp rod bolts in. but part of me says its not broke, dont fix it. but if i lived by that i would still have an ls1 in the bay. so should i replace the bearings, since they do have 99k on them. and put some arp rod bolts in. my buddy says put arp mains in too but damn they are like almost 200 bucks
