You didnt upgrade the valve springs, which arent even ok for a stock 5.0 ho cam, and you used an e cam.

I can remedy all of this with new springs and a nice custom grind cam. Very budget friendly.

Ok, then I am wrong. Aint the first time. Let us know when you figure out what is wrong.

Did you degree the cam in? Verify spring pressures? What is preload set at? Compression test after the fact?
