I agree, that's really difficult to discern.
I'm guessing:
If that's the case, as long as your lifters are new (and everything assembled correctly), I don't see a problem. The break in on the cam is to get it spinning against the lifters, which is going to happen whether or not the computer is giving the engine the correct fuel mixture. The only issue I can see is that if the engine is running incorrectly, it may overheat due to the required RPM and duration.
Someone else may see other issues, but I don't see why you couldn't at least break it in.
