Default cam install problems

alright need major help. my cammed LT1 just dynoed 106hp and i cant figure out why. HPE's first thought was bent valves, but i dont believe that nor see how thats possible. im thinkin opti cause we used an old one we found laying around. the tuner said it popped a couple of codes but didnt look into it. i casnt think of any codes that would come up with bent valves. especially in obd1. they put a new, acdelco pcm in it and new spark plugs wer installed not 5 min before the dyno. the plug wires are **** but i dont think they wer **** enough to dyno 106hp. any help would be nice

does it feel like only 106 hp? i'm sure you would tell the difference... i don't see how it would even run... but i guess stranger things have happened...

Use Shoebox's guide to check your ignition since you know it's not the best anyways...
