As you assemble the engine and get it ready to run, you can adjust the valves cold if you add .005 thousandths to the book HOT settings. This will get you very close and you can run your engine without fear of burning a valve.
If your cam requires a HOT setting of .006 on the intake, set it at .010 or .011 cold...same with the exhaust lash.
Have you followed the threads on cam break-in procedures and motor oil additives. Although this doesn't' seem to be critical for stock cam grinds and stock valve train components, it sure wouldn't hurt to give it a quick peek and maybe choose your initial oil fill based on what you find.
