Cams are the same.

That's a loaded question. The non-HD tranny is just as strong as the HD tranny except for the differential. So if you keep from a lot of hard launches and burnouts it should be fine. Well, as fine as the stock tranny will be anyway. I'd recommend a shift kit to speed up the shifts and keep your clutches from overheating.
