Default installed skunk2 s2s1 but having a couple problems

well 3:00 in the morning and im tired as ****. i have a long day taking my time installing my skunk2 stage 1 cams in my b18c1.when i started her up she runs fine with it idling but if if i give it any gas the bogs down and almost shuts off.

my setup:
-cai
-dc 4-1 header
-high flow cat
-2.5in exhaust
-exedy organic clutch
-8lbs flywheel
-skunk2 stage 1 cams
-b&m fpr w/ gauge
-vafc 2 on the way

the stock fuel pressure was 40psi but i turned it up to 45psi.

the timing is at 18 degress advanced from the stock 16.

why is the car bogging down like that yall think.

if i am off a by say a tooth on the timing belt would that cause something like this. im pretty sure the t-belt is on right though all the marks and everything are line up.
can someone plese help me i really can't to see what kind of a difference these cams made.

Try adjusting vavle lash and putting the timing back to its stock 16 deg. Might as well have everything set up to stock (with execption of cams of course), just to get things running. Once its running then mess with the timing and what not.

spoolnG that is exactly what it is doing is that what happens if your off a teeth or two. i checked some stuff alittle while ago i put the arrows on the cam gears up and made sure the lines in the middle were lined up, but and i check on the crank pulley and the pointer on the block is not even with the 0btc mark on the crank pulley so im guessing it's off some teeth?
