I have no experience with the GoWesty kits but in general just remember
when you rebuild with more displacement than original, there's generally
a trade-off somewhere, usually it's shorter life until the next
rebuild.  Maybe just because with the extra power you're now driving
more aggressively, wearing the clutch and transmission, etc.

But again, that's just a general rule to consider.
