You have a .56x lift cam with a .650 lift spring. Chances are, around .560 lift, your valve springs are buttery soft and don't have much pressure. In comes the valve float.

Two things I am seeing... One, stop with timing. I am a big fan of low timing and more boost. But that's just me. I run a maximum of 18* on methanol and 93. Over 30lbs of boost though. I think this could be valve float myself. The springs are pretty good on the seat, but opening pressure is going to be low I am sure. If I calculated the pressures right, you are seeing just under 400lbs under total lift. I'm not very familiar with LS engines, but I would probably want to see mid 400s no? I would also like to see a log of manifold pressure if possible.
