Icon6 89 crx z6/y8

Ok well once again I need help my crx is in a shop now and the results have not changed. The motor will start but still runs like it has a huge cam in it. They've done leak down test compression test and a lot more and everything checks out. It won't idle at a steady rate and has no power when u give it gas. Z6 bottom end with a y8 head adjustable cam gear wiring redone to match motor. No one can seem to get it running right. Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

do u have the correct head studs installed, u need one z6 and the rest y8. Might have a lil leaky headgasket under running conditions. does it sound like its missing? pull the plug wires individually until one of them doesnt make a difference in how its running, this will single out the bad one
