Default Zex 59300 Cam ... Quiet ?

Hey guys i'm getting ready to install the zex 59300 cam in my z6 head today, I know it's a loud cam when installed but i was just wonderin what are the valve lash specs. people are using to make it quieter ? the only spec. i've found is

.006 & .007

just wondering what everyone else is using, to attempt to quiet the cam down ? if you guys could get @ me asap ! i'd definitely appreciate it - thanks justin

I doubt changing the valve lash is going to change the sound of the cam. If it is aggressive enough, it will always sound like that no matter what the spacing is.
