yeah it could be alot of things but like stated before even though .480 lift cam will work with stock springs you shouldnt be revving it very high or you will float valves

I went w/ a Crane valve spring kit good to .550 lift for my E cam (.498 lift). Get more spring than you need by .20 or so to make sure they won't bind.
