my new engine wtf. please help
it falls on its face especially on the dyno, everything on the car is brand new, engine is new with ported heads,intake, big ol nasty *** cam with all the supporting mods, stall but stock 3.23 gear.
after 45oo it starts to fall on its face and break up it even has a new opti on it and still has the same problem. can this be a major valve train issue or what do you guys think need input badly this pisses me off...

Sounds like what my new engine did on it's first test drive. Idled fine but stumbled like crazy and struggled to climb in the rpms.
Popped of the valve covers and readjusted my rockers with the engine running and it left hundreds of feet of rubber down my street when it was done.

the car just got a base tune on it right now.ive taken it in and they say its either the opti or valve train.im going to look everything over this week plus get a gm opti ratherthan the brand new autozone opti/cap/rotor i got that ill sell for $140shipped 80miles on it.the fuel is right on point since he didnt mention anything like that.it really sucks because i spent over 6k and cant even drive the car.i really hope adjusting everything and putting in a gm opti is going to do the job.
if anyone one else has a idea please sure thank you
