how confident are you that you got the engine timing correct ? this is not ign timing, this is with lingin up TDC on crank with TDC on cams. Then you also needed to readjust valvelash. Ideally you should have also degreed the cams with adjustabl ecam gears until you hit the dyno, if not jsut hit the dyno and tune them.

I don't know a lot about cams but I belive they are designed that way. If you have a lot of high end power than you wont have a lot of low end power. That may just be the way the cam was designed. if your not supposed to have power like that in that range of RPMS, they may have given you the wrong cam. You might want to check on that or call there tech. support.

No, it's a VTEC cam, so that shouldn't happen.

The guy needs to get it tuned. VTEC Xover, fuel, timing.
