I hear what you are saying and normally I would be right with you but given the overall numbers/profile I think its splitting hairs. I have experience with that cam in a heavy rig with a stock low compression 360 and it hauled the mail quite nicely.
To the op if you really wanted to wake up performance and have freedom to choose a cam get some more compression, no matter if it is shaved heads,thin head gaskets or even a set of nicely worked over 302 heads (some would disagree but its a truck after all) and it will make a huge difference.
