Default Hydraulic lifter, roller cam valve clearance/preload

My 418 small block with Comp Cam roller hydraulic lifter motor has the rocker/valve lash set at zero. No preload. The rocker will "slide" easily across the valve tip with the valve closed, but no clearance and no preload.

I suppose this is avoid the lifter from pumping up since it's already maxed out in height.

This is a 550+ hp flywheel motor at 6,250.

Any comments on this being a good, bad or medium set up for a street only motor? Other suggestions?

Thanks,
