I am just worried that too much preload will add too much wear to the components with track usage.
I am ignorant so I might be completely wrong here.

I'm happy to help where I can - and I'll always try to be polite even when I don't agree with another approach.
IMO, too much preload would be if you're using more than 75% of the lifters total travel. An OEM lifter has right about .200" of travel, so it sounds like your on the "high, but ok" side of that. I wouldn't expect any additional wear as a result. I do think you have an excellent case for working towards a minimized preload for the safety factor on over-rev. Keep us updated - I'm sure the extra power is going to be a blast on the track.
