I think you will be fine but only you know how much this will bug ya thinking about it latter. Is a couple HP worth pulling the heads.
I think the heads are Ok. If anything they were opened up too much. I sure don't want to remove any more on the head ports. The problem is the intake. Man 0.090" seems a lot to me to be off.
