Default Car is sluggish after cam install

I just had a TR224/224 with a 112 LSA installed in my car with comp 918 springs. The car was running better then i had even hoped, but now it starts to feel like im drivin a civic. I lose power, and the car makes a funny rumble. then it will just catch. Im thinking it is either the timing or the fuel injectors, or both. What do you guys think? Also, what is the timing advance, if any on my cam? I thought it was 4 degrees...

im thinking injectors are playin some sort of a roll in it you got 26# injectors and you have a cam that is alot bigger then stock. I would a-tap it get the look at the fuel trims. try some 30# svo's and a tune

Do you have A-tap or EFI-live scanner? What do your L-TRIM'S look like? Are you getting spark to all your cylinders?

you do not need bigger injectors for a cam car. most use stock ones with heads and cam cars and they are just fine.
