yes they will be just fine
I have a set in my turbo ranger about 40k miles and no issues

there are a few details tho  to get them to set up proper, I have insytalled about 15 or so sets of them.

Btw.. on the Bo stuff...  there is no cam card, so good luck getting your cam degreed in proper

a bolt n go is a lucky start.... with out the specs, how do you know the cam is set the way it was designed? evry other cam supplier sends a card, but bo..
