What this really comes down to is you not wanting to listen.

If you had taken the time to do as I and other told you. That was find out why the engine did not what to run right with the original cams phasing changed and fixed it then. You would be where today a week or two ago.

Actually, what it comes down to, ironically now, is that I did listen.

I listened to bunch of advice here to get a bigger cam with my round port heads.

So I did it.

The cam sucked. It was junk.

Now I'm back with the cam that was on the build sheet.

That simple.

Voodoo cams are fantastic, the lifters you used were junk.
I would have gone with Johnson Hi-Lift.

We put numbers to settings and tests , data, to compare to known norms , and allow us to duplicate those settings after servicing.
Or if a malfunction occurs, to check if a setting is off from your set point. Ear and eye data is hard to quantify!

You were checking/adjusting cam and ignition timing ...without a TDC reference point when this crazy train left the station..
