With that amount of information, it's hard to say. Could be lots of things that would cause or contribute to that:
- As pointed out above, cam phasing out completely;
- too little deck clearance;
- heads shaved too much;
- lots of duration, which you have;
BTW: Do you really have 1.6 rockers?? All LS series engines come with 1.7:1 rockers, except the LS7, which has a 1.8:1 rocker ratio. At 1.7:1, your exhaust lift would be around .584" lift, which should be fine with stock heads and deck heights and reasonable duration. That cam has a hell of a lot of duration though, so who knows?
