4.6 Liter cam problems

I was thinking of getting a set of aftermarket cams for my 4.6 4V. After reading up though and talking to some people I seem to be hearing a lot about lifter pump up problems and how a lot of cars run terrible after stepping up to bigger cams. Has anybody run into this or has heard of something similar.
