is it normal to have more valve train noise

Is it normal to have more valve train noise after upgrading from ls6 springs to dual prc springs?
I had very little if any noise with my asa cam and ls6 springs. Now I have the prc 5.3 heads, dual springs and t2 cam and a ridiculous amount of valve train noise. It sounds like total **** and my idle will go up to like 2000 rpms after deceleration and the car sounds like a damn diesel ! This is after a tune also ! Wft ! The thing has mad power but I'm thinkin of taking it to another shop. Any suggestions of reputable shops in the maryland/baltimore area?
