White and white? There is a white or red mark on the teeth of the cam gears this gets lined up with the "slash mark" on the cam caver of the car

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I think he means white mark to the timing notch on intake and exhaust. Surely if he lined the white marks up to one another it woudn't run well if at all. I think that would cause a little "interference".

Check your base timing.
A local guy was off on timing, his crank was off BTDC by 11 degrees and the car would fall on its face above 5600 everytime. I mean, really fall on its face and it would also knock really easily.
I was trying to tune it and it would go full rich at 5600 and just die.
We finally figured out his base timing was off, set it back to normal.
Before and after:
(and just fixing the timing issue, no tuning)
Just a little bit of difference up top.

its my car he raced...i just took it to the dealer today to get my 5th gear synro replaced...so its back to stock now....when i took out my mbc it wouldn't boost past 15 and drops to 11/12...no idea y, but im not concerned. i think i got the vac hose's backwards..who knows or cares lol.. and i have a k&n cone filter and adapter and cutout when we raced...my cars no joke lol....when we accelerated i noticed that his car jumped off and was much more responsive than mine and at top rpm's is when i would catch up to him, but once he would shift and i would catch up to him...so something is up with top end... if i had my mbc turned up 21/22 and my 5th gear wasn't grinding so i could shift fast i think i would be dead even or possibly faster....HELP HIM!!!!!! so i can see how beasty it is because i haven't decieded if the cam is the way to go....

I think your ECU is seeing an event and killing the fun in the midrange of the power band.

To all that have read this thread......I apologize for giving the impression that the VISHNU tune was the problem. It was, as you all suspected, a mistake on my part.
I WAS OFF 3 TEETH ON THE BELT!!!!
Now that the cam is set right on both the intake and exhaust, the car performs beautifully! Thanks again to VISHNU and mainly Shiv for putting up with my constant harassment and pestering phone calls.
Now that I read my thread title, I feel I may have been wrongly condescending towards a great company. My ignorance overwhelms me sometimes, and I just want to say thanks to Shiv and everyone at Vishnu, and I am sorry for wrongly accusing the flash as the problem.
To everybody that is curious about the cam swap.....IT WORKS FANTASTIC! There is soooo much power beyond 5k now and the car just wants to sprint to 8k in every gear. But for those of you doing your own installs, keep in mind that the belt has a tendency to jump teeth without even moving (some kind of magic trick or something), so be sure to check and double check the markings of the cam gears against the valve cover.
