This guy sounds like one of those people who claims to be The World's 
Foremost Authority (on whatever you choose to talk about) but is really full of crap.

Take a deep breath, then start over again.  It sounds like all of your 
components are more than adequate for what you probably want (I would shy away from 
hypereutectic pistons for racing work, but they're fine for the street).  So 
you've had some cam problems.  There may be a valve train issue at work there, 
i.e. improper setup, valve spring coil binding?  But it's probably a small, 
localized problem, not a comprehensive collection of screw-ups as this guy is 
leading you to believe.
