There's a lot more to a cam than just those two specs posted. From my experience, no cam is cut perfectly to specs either, neither are engine specs. While my pistons only came out of the hole .0065, others may come out less or more. Nothing is perfect. Engines have tolerances, some fall high, some fall low, some fall all in between. To play it safe, just because it works for one guy, doesnt mean it will for everyone else. Better to be safe and check now on your particular setup than to listen to either of us and possibly find out the hard way.
