doubt it's the heads. stage Vs ported by FHO. the intakes flow 435 or so. it's a 540, with about 10.25:1 compression. stage V intake with 2 edelbrocks. there was a little more there in tuning: timing and the A/F could have been tweaked a little. bigger cam would make a big difference...
i know you've posted it many times, but what is your setup?
How many street miles do you have on it? Do you run splash or pressurized lifters? Do you oil through the head (stock) or pushrods? And are you concerned about lifter failure to the point of checking/rebuilding them every few thousand miles as has been suggested on here? Our engines are VERY similar as is the usage (street driven).
at this point about 2k miles or so. stock oiling through the heads. i'm not really concerned about lifter failure. i talked long with tim about what i wanted, and the fact that i drive the car a lot. i didn't want to be checking lifters once a year. that's one of the reasons we went with a milder cam, the profile is more of a hydraulic profile than a solid, hence, no need for radical spring pressure which is easier on all the parts.
i'm happy with what the engine is. i know there is a lot more power there, but at the cost of maintenance, parts, etc... like i said, i drive it a lot, and that was my main concern.

Iron 572" Edelbrock/Mopar Head CNC by Modern, Hemi
11/1 comp.
.687 / .659 lift
261 / 270 @ .050
112.0 LS
Pac-1226 springs
No lifters or rockers yet, looking for suggestions.
More street than strip.
Your combo is similar and the springs are similar to mine in seat/open pressures but with less lift on the cam.
My rockers are Stage v and lifters are Isky Red Zone Extreme Roller X.
Hmmm..am I wonder if I am over thinking this despite the spring pressure/thru the deck oiling
