I'm having a hard time getting my build running right. Does anyone know of a professional for hire in the Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads area that is knowledgeable enough about our cars to help me out?

Build is basically Trick Flow top end kit on a 306 professionally assembled.

Thanks,
Jason

That shouldn't be hard, what problems are you having.

Won't idle, can't keep it running. Runs really rough. So far I've confirmed that fuel injectors each have power going to them. Checked compression.

I have so many new parts, it's hard to say what is wrong.

Check codes?

Distributor may not be stabbed correctly either.

Also make sure your valvetrain is working properly...I had some issues with mine when I found I adjusted my rockers too tight and was only running on 7 cylinders. It idled rough and would not rev smooth. Then not too long after I found the machine shop over torqued a rocker stud and it got stripped, so again my valvetrain was not working correctly and ran rough. I ended up using a helicoil and fixed that issue. Runs great now. You're not the only one that's had issues. Don't give up, you'll get it!
