From what I've researched myself, is that the vortoec heads had some seal clearance issues when using bigger cams. Seems as though .460 is about the max without problems. You need to machine the valve guides back if you want more lift. You seem to have a pretty aggressive setup as it is so, maybe scale back your cam choice a little and everything should be fine.
