Default SpeedPro LT-1 Lash Setting

Need help with setting correct lash on new cam
I just received my new LT-1 cam from Summit.. SpeedPro # CS1145R. Going to be installing it into my 62 327 340HP Corvette. Looking for lash setting advice. Is it best to use the lash settings on the cam card. Int. .020 and Ext. .025. I will be setting them cold, so will add .002 to these settings. Or is the better settings to use for lash settings.
Thanks for any input,
Mark

I would suggest you do a search on the forum here. You'll find enough opinions to read that it'll keep you off the street for a couple of days.
