What were the spring pressures, Eric? 

I use 100% Comp stuff these days.  Don't have any issues.

I believe 120 closed , on the SBC he took out a perfectly good running 4-7 swap cam for a drag race grind simular spec but on a 106 instead of a 110 . Do you trust Comp hydraulic rollers ?

The open pressure is what can kill a cam.  I also don't like breaking them in with over 100 lbs seat.  100/280 seems to work well for me. 

I don't prefer the Comp lifters, I use Morel, but no one grinds my cams except for Comp.....and I sell a lot of cams.....

    The hyd roller for my 545 (460) was custom ordered by Brent. He got me something I couldn't get anywhere. I'm using Morel's too.
