It is not normal to pick up that much lift with a .100 long push rod although not unheard of. But that would normally say you may still be off on your rocker geometry and if so, you would greatly see an enhancement with a lobe redesign. I think Greg (while in the swimming pool drinking his latte) may indeed be correct, time to look at that cam design. Motor definitely wanted more cam than you were first giving it. Get you rocker arm geometry up so you can see what area under the curve you really have before you look at the next design. Also check your rockers to see what their ratio really is. Seaperated them out, 8 shortest and 8 longest and pick what you want them on exhaust or intake
