The cam or rockers are not what hits the valvecover. It's the poly-locks, which will hit regardless of which cam you have.

With good supporting valve train parts you should pulley the blower to peak at ~6,000-6,200rpm.

Could i make power to( or spin it too) 6500rpm, or because this is a EX cam it will fall off at 6200rpm

EM, what springs do you have on your AFR210s....you make power up to 6500 then, falls hard or slow.
