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,

I've seen you post this a couple times and never understood why.... whats with the cc306 tune for a 503 and ported heads?
Oh, and you could always just readjust your rr's.
