Some 5.9 roller cam help from y'all please
The hughes 1110 spring coil bind at .620 lift with a 1.66 installed height according to them. 1.050ish bind height.

I'd check what is there and see if the retainer is an issue. Something doesn't sound right with that spring and a reasonable installed height unless it's retainer to guide/seal issues.
You got it, as it is retainer to guide clearance limiting it, and all EQ heads unless they have been cut for taller springs. (Brian at IMM told me)
I called where I got the heads and they told me .475 max (even though some run up to just under .500)
He also said that cutting seats, and adding longer springs and valves is how people are getting over .500 lift with EQ heads weather it was done before or after they were sold.
After that I called Brian at IMM, gave him the details and what I actually cared about and what I wanted.
I don't need big lift and if that was all that mattered I could just run the OEM hydraulic.
What I want is max mid throttle torque and a mild but obvious rumpity rump in the idle, so he said he could easily have a cam made for me that should produce about 350hp and 350-400tq with a nice moderate lope to it using my stock converter, springs, retainers, locks, intake, carb and gearing.
Wait, he said I should run conical springs due to harmonics (forgot about that) so I'll have to get those on the ways as soon as I can.
Sounds like I'm going to go with a custom grind Hughes cam from IMM. :D
below is a video of how it sounds now and it just BEGS for an aftermarket cam idle.
I think Mgunner's video is just a bit on the too rough side for what I want, but it does sound really nice.
here's the video.
