right, so I figure stripped and headers maybe 670 hp at absolute best, not horrible but nothing amazing enough to have a cam that I am being told is going to cause issues later, guys also made similar or better numbers with shelf cams at 5400-5500 rpm... it is not about being butthurt I am over that, but it is annoying to know I spend 30,000+ to have engines that might have issues with valvetrain...

Did you ever dyno your old motors or did they come with sheets?
So why not spend the money now and get a proven cam that is going to give you your power and not destroy your valve train?
I know you said you had reached your thresh hold of spending but different cams sounds like preventive measures, and if money why not new cams and I take it you would need to buy new lifters also instead of spending money on a dyno?

I got sheets with them, as far as changing it now? Well I spent a lot of money last year that I don't have now to change
