    I would make sure the gears are set correctly for the cams. Check the timing belt is setup correctly.

    Check injector pulse.

    Hasn't lost a tune?

    As has been said double check the cam timing & also Have you checked the valve clearances with the New cams installed as the clearances could be really tight now ??

    Most important thing is make sure the cams (not cam gears) are lined up. Locator pin on intake cam should be at 12o'clock, locator pin on exhaust cam should be at 4 o'clock.

    If you are using the distributor is that timed right ?
    I find the best way to check it is to turn over the engine by hand until it is at compression TDC on No1. cylinder, remove dizzy cap and rotor arm and then look very closely at the rotor with the four teeth, one of the four teeth should be inline with the thin metal bar on the sensor inside the dizzy. If it is not inline just turn the dizzy until it is.
    To ensure it is firing on the correct cylinder re-fit the rotor arm and make sure it is pointing to No.1 spark lead on the dizzy cap.
    Timing the distributor as above will get it close enough to run.
