I apologize if this comes off a bit standoffish, especially coming from a 19 year old "kid", but there are more ways to control a radical camshaft than throwing heaping amounts of valve spring pressure at it. At least with flat tappet stuff, I don't see why you couldn't build a good stocker engine with, for example, a 150lb on the seat valve spring rule. I know it probably means nothing to the average A,B,C stock racer, but the 6 cylinder engine I built last winter was quite happy with about 100lb on the seat, and that cam is by no means "soft" in any way.
