Sounds like you and you "boy" need to have the car tuned and adjusted by a professional, you dont njust drop in cams and get power. You cando serious damage to the engine by running lean and having the valve lash set to tight. If you want to know what valve lash is, chec the card that came with your cams, that will give you the spec's and do a simple search on here
