No you want to go with factory torque spec on this. If the valve isnt seated propery it will result in the valve getting hotter and hotter until it breaks down and goes caput. Thats one reason valves need to be adjusted... they can tighten up just as easy as they can loosen.
The factory specs for my 06 is .006 +-.001 so I always set mine at .005 and I have never had any problems and they are alot quieter than setting them at .006.
