JS0 cam in an 88/dynamo 500

Forums

Has anyone tried a JSMotorsport JS0 cam and lightweight lifters in a 500?
My cam followers need replacing and the cost of the JS full cam, followers, and pushrod kit isn't that much more expensive considering it includes the new cam with a performance boost.
intake cam lift goes from 0.3" to 0.34".
I have the downdraught SS head.
would be great to hear from anyone who's tried this -

It seems from the info on the JS0 that it's effectively the same as a stock commando cam so if anyone has tried one of those in a 500 that would also be interesting

It has 0.345" of lift on the inlet lobe so looks a bit hotter than the SS cam.
The standard 88 cam that's currently in it has 0.3" of lift on the inlet lobe.
is this likely to make the bike a bit too peaky for road riding?

would appreciate thoughts and comments

Actually it's also very very similar to the SS cam according to the cam survey. So any thoughts on that would also be appreciated. 

i wonder if I'd be heading down a route to a potential blown engine as I have the standard 1.5" journal crank.
