Default T-rex (Little Bigger)

My cam is going in on monday. It is a T-rex, but the cam card shows that it is bigger than the advertised 242/248. It says it is a 243.2/249.7 @ .050. What kind of issues might I run into? The car is full bolt-on and a 2002. Thanks for the help in advance.

I know piston-valve clearance might be an issue. Not trying to sound completely ignorant.

None really most cams spec out a bit different then advertised.
Good idea to check P/V clearence either way.
Good luck and have fun with the new power.

We are beginning to suspect our Cam Doctor needs a tune up....almost everything we doctor on it comes out on the high side.

Todd, so you need to take the doctor to the doctor?
