You can safely run the intakes at .004".  This is a little harder to 
remember (2 numbers) and harder to do (juggle 2 feelre gauges), but 
the intakes run cooler and don't expand as much as the exhausts.  So 
this can be done without any negative consequences.

Positive consequences:  slightly quieter valve noise, slightly 
reduced valve train wear, slightly better intake breathing.

I have been doing this since about 1980.
