Rebuilt head - lack of power

[spyfish007]

I just got my Camry on road today after some major work. However the car seems to lack power. I was wondering what factor my be the most likely ....

Did I get the cam gear/timing belt one rib off?
Did the ignition timing get messed up?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Yeah, I know they lack power, but I also know how the car felt before I did all my work.

what work did you get done???

usually if you gain high end power youll lose low end power and low end power is neck pulling feeling

Not sure whats going on, but check the things you listed above.

Are the camshafts installed properly? And is the valve lash within spec?

Everything is bone stock ..... did new head gasket, ARP head studs, new plugs & wires, new cap & rotor.

The car started just fine ... but has NO power. The RPMs increase but at a death pace.

I talked with someone local who said removing the EGR causes big problems on these cars. So back in it has gone ... however I got sold the wrong brake pads so the car is still not moving .....
