Cam/Valves question

Im thinking of getting the Crane H-260-2 cam but it says something about valve float at about 5500rpm. Is there anyway to not get the float, stiffer springs or lighter valves? Im gonna have a t3/t4 on my engine soon and since its actually gonna be making power up there I plan on shifting around 5500-6000K. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Baron

Gotta pull your heads and have stronger valvesprings installed and possibly machined into proper closed height position based on what lift that cam has.
