Any graphs with valve float?

i'm wondering if anyone has any graphs with valve float? I just want to compare with my own graphs. I think i have a float problem . HP peaks at 430@6000 and hangs there until 6800. Before I did heads the HP peaked at 420@6300 and then tapers off. Any help would be appreciated!

Here's my dyno sheet...the cam is an XER 226/230 .600/.600 110...this, combined with YT 1.7 rockers, floated the valves through the MTI double springs...

I have the Crane doubles( striped) with shims to a 1.705 installed height(.075 shim). I just don't think these cranes are up to the task-they may work fine with stock heads but with aftermarket heads and a bigger valve I don't think they have enough rate. For example I had the manley singles in on Z06 heads, cam only it would peak at 420@6300 then drop off. Now with heads (AS stage 2.5 5.3)and these crane springs the car hits 430@6000 and then carries it.
