Erik knows his ****. If he is building your engine, I'm not so sure there is anyone better to spec you a cam.

just like any other solid engine, expect to adjust your valves after each night at the track, possibly at the track as well.

I would certainly check the valve clearances on a solid roller set up before each track event, but those clearances should not change very frequently. On the street, after the intial 500 mile wear-in period, I would not expect the clearances to change enough to require adjustment any more often than 10k miles. Some valve springs require more frequent checking than solid roller valve clearances.
