There ya go, you're overcammed. You probably lost more power in the low-mid range than you gained on the top end. If you gained anything at all.
There's more to building an engine that makes usable power than buying everything that says "stage2" on it.

Were stock specs the recommendation of the cam manufacturer?

I agree with klyph

I'm going to guess the engine isn't in time.

Post your cam card, homeslice.
