What does something good for brake rotors have to do with what is good for valvesprings?
Hell if you actually look into it drilled rotors is generally a bad idea anyway unless it is a Porsche or bike with rotors that are HUGE for the application which is not the case for an f-body. The outgassing excuses and such are outdated and more or less invalid today. That makes drilled rotors purely cosmetic or an expression of ignorance.
Far as cooling the valvetrain if it is going to be brought up maybe it should be noted when it becomes worth the effort and how to do it. If I were to try and run a solid roller with steep lobes on the street I would look at spring oilers in the valvecovers but that is a fair amount of money and effort, not something the typical street/strip hydraulic setup needs to look at.
