*Sigh*You're not feeling a whole lot of action below 3000 RPM because your cam and meter are having difficulty filling those heads with air. Your exhaust scavenging probably leaves something to be desired as well.
What heads and more importantly, what size are the heads? What size are the combustion chambers?
I just installed new Edlebrock performer heads.
From what I've heard, cars are dogs if you add H/C/I without converting to MAF.
i say you need a bigger cam
I agree with Mike, while the stock cam is not IDEAL he shouldn't really have a major loss in bottom end BUT the RPM II intake is too large for that combo. IMO, It needs a cam to properly take advantage of what the heads and intake can offer, if you need help with that I can help. I would swap the MAF as well....
Does it rev clean and smooth up to redline? Im thinkng valve adjustment might be a little tight....only a guess over the keyboard What rear gear is in the car? AOD or 5spd? What is the timing set to? What is the Fuel Pressure?
Since I own a shop I have to ask.... Have you talked with your mechanic that installed all the parts yet? If not, he needs to know and might be able to give you more insight since he installed the parts and actually had his hands on the car.
What do you mean by that, Rick?
If it is slow to rev through the entire rpm range that is a good indication that the valves are lashed too tight

You would need to prime the motor a few minutes, making sure you rotate the motor in 90 degree increments to get oil everywhere.
I go 1/4-1/2 turn...at 1/4 they can be a little noisey under a alum valve cover but it will make powwe, especially if you have the oil pressure to get the lifters pumped
