Did I screw up installing my cam?

I put a comp cam crb xe268h-10 in my 383, I installed it advanced, as advised by my motor guy to help move torque to the lower end. Now I read that comp grinds some of their cams advanced, so they can be installed straight up.. Does anyone know if this is one of those cams? I havent finished assembling the valve train yet, Im still waiting for my rockers, so I can't check for interference. The specs on the cam are:

                              Intake          Exhaust
Gross valve lift            .477             .480
Duration @ .006          268               280

These specs are for cam installed at 106.0 intake center line

Duration @ .050          224               230
Lobe lift                    .3180             .3200
Lobe separation   110.0             


I want torque down low, but I dont want problems either.. Am I going to be ok leaving it in there advanced?

Thanks!
