Default Crane 570 and lifter float

Ok I have the Crane 570 cams installed and love them but, a couple times when winding it up and shifting to the next gear it would fall flat on its face. I think it is called valve floating
. Is there a stronger valve spring that I would need to put in to solve that problem? If so how hard is it to do the job? Thanks in advance.

no it isnt like that, it is like I have to not throttle for a second or two to get it back again. The rev limiter will quit working when you shift.
