Nice to see it is up and running!
Actually milder than your grind, which is also pretty mild relative to some of the HR lobes guys try to run to make up for mediocre heads - it's just bigger. 
Chamber/port design, output range, load, etc. are also variables at play insofar as retaining headroom on pump fuel. That and sealing the intake & rocker studs so it isn't ingesting oil.
You guys tend to do a good job - hopefully it works well the first time out & there aren't many little details to refine/tweak to get it up to potential. Good luck!

His build is similar to mine in terms of compression and cylinder head choice, but his cam is FAR more aggressive than mine, yet we'll both be running pump gas just fine.
The ability to run on pump gas is ALL IN THE TUNE and ALL IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. Common misconceptions from folks who don't have access to both.
