Cam wiped out, what the hell did I do wrong?!?!?

I plan on totally breaking it down and cleaning, and either going a little lower on lift, a little higher on duration, or both when I get the new cam. Still not sure on what cam yet, but it will probably be a Comp cam. A roller is a too spendy for me right now, I'd rather get a higher stall converter and higher duration FT cam for the money, or just a smaller cam all together and keep the current converter.
