are my rockers to tight?
are my rockers to tight? would this cause hardly any power?
everything is going good with the cam and heads but im not gettting any power i step on the gas and it take awhile to go any where, could this be from the rockers being to tight.

I understand what the directions say, but when you're spinning the motor with a cam some people prefer to go less, like me for instance.
I would check the basics.
Fuel
Air
Spark
Compression.
Put a guage on the car for fuel, run it at WOT in gear, meaning go drive it, it shouldnt move much at all if moves more then 4 psi then its a fuel issue
Check ALL wires throughly, look for cracks, burnt spots and check the opti plug arrangement i.e. Crossed wire.
Air- you should be fine, at worst maybe a clogged CAT, check the other two 1st.
Comp- If ALL else fails, give it a whirl.
If a rocker is loose, its going to make stupid noise.

Also, Cylinder Leak down testers are handy when re-setting your valve lash. I personally don't go by turns, but then again...everyone has an opinion on "how-to" or "how-not-to" set valve lash.
Hope this helps,
