Remember going from a "C.D. 7000+" to a G.K.,it was a brutal valve train experience!!
From getting over 7000rpm to struggle to get it running over 6000 and lots of broken valve train parts,but it was a good thing to learn first hand that higher spring pressures not necessary gave you more trouble as you thought some 30+ years ago, braking parts is not the best way to spend your Racing-money but to find out and learn things that way is what keeps us interested keeping doing this, well for me anyway(nowadays I know that ) If it was the driving part I think there are lot better options for that

p.s.
My experience is the same as Johns about newer Cams,I never found much, with that said I never had or worked on a Stocker "induction system" that benefitted from 8000rpm so I must have some real junk
