Default i need help with my setup

I have had this 91 Crx HF with 91 Si block with 97 DX head 1.6. I have it running, but my rpm gauge goes all crazy when i floor it. It seems like im losing high end power. Do i have to mess around with the rocker arms? How do i tune it to run smoothly?Please help.

New head... Same old Distributor... ok lets put that aside... It could be ur timing. Also that cam is a bit different then the crx si and might cause it to be a little bit unsmooth up top. You might also check ur cam angle sensor... Could be a weak fuel pump but im leaning towards stuff with the new head. Take the valve cover off and do a valvetrain adjustment... Car burning any oil or anything? Check engine lights?

Could you explain this please? The gauge is bouncing around or what? I don't get it.

Are you sure the timing belt is in the right position? I bet it's off a tooth...or three.
