This is a very big issue!
Whole lot of racers experiencing wiped out cams and engines.
The mechanical limits on cams and lifters can take has been reached long ago.
Yet Engine builders find ways and processes to add more.

Maybe a loping engine like a Olds 455 would not benefits so much.
Engines exceed 6500rpm, more like 7000+ are losing it.

Like beating a dead horse! (Need to post that picture again)
Keep the current cam rule. Limit the Spring.
Such as a Spring Ratio based on size of the Largest Valve.
NTE...some stated Spring Seat pressure!

Too much Spring Pressure is like More Snow
