Valve float/valve harmonics

Does anyone have a dyno curve they can post that has "confirmed" valve float or valve control issues? I am looking for a curve that had the problem and then was fixed and how.

I suggest doing a search over at ls1tceh.com. I just saw a graph someone posted with some bad valve float and was recently.

Tried that, but many are later found to be other problems. Everything I read says valve float will make some noise when it happens. Trying to confirm the symptoms on a dyno sheet and to the ear.

I've only known valve float to be associated with high rpm power falling off and broken parts. Get and set of Comp 918s and rev that biotch!
