Default bad idle on new cams?

I just installed some skunk stage 1 cams in my b16. It is idling really rough and it is running extremely rich because you cant stand no where near the exhaust because it will burn your eyes. Anyone run into this problems. The timing looks fine. Does anyone the specs on the valve lash for these cams. Thanks in advance for any input. I desperately want to drive the car with these cams, but right now it sounds terrible. It idles terribly but when you rev it it revs fine with no missing. Thanks again for any input.

Timing off a bit? Thats what I'm betting on. What else did you do to the car when you did the cams?

I just looked at it, and the timing might be off by one tooth. Would that cause it to idle and run like that. 1 TOOTH? Putting the cams in was the only thing i did to the motor. Thanks for the reply
