I don't think valvesprings are your problem. Did you adjust the valves with the motor running?...If not, you probably had them too tight.
Are you sure the cam/crank phasing is right? Did you line up the dots on the crank and cam?...Cam at 6 o'clock/crank at 12 o'clock.

Another thought is that I hear the Comp R lifters use very little lash. That means that the effective lift is a little more than with a standard lifter (won't be much, but a little). If the previous owner was not using Comp R's, maybe that is the difference. Check for coil bind as already suggested.

Someone on another board mentioned something about the LT1 being a non-interference engine. Is this true and if so, should I pull the heads anyways to check for valve kisses on the piston just incase? Thanks guys.

Heres a quick vid that my buddy made of the short time that the car ran. Sounds pretty nasty if you ask me. Lets just say I plan on yaking the heads after listening

Hey, nah, just about the time I bought the rims, a friend of mine offered me a killer deal on the cam and springs that I just "installed" on my car so I never got them on. A buddy of mine was kinda in a bind and needed some rims so I let him have them. They are on a red Z28 with black stripes-VERY SHARP!
