need help i have built my first efi2.3 na after building 7 carb versions

i used a rebuilt short block with flat tops and arp bolts
head is a n/a unit that was remachined
cam is a woleverine cs666 whitch is supposed to be a factory turbo copy
pacesetter header thru 2 inch pipe into a flow master
this combo has no bottem end and mid range is no better than the old worn out unit
i have a racerwalsh cam gear set @ 0 degrees
timing set at 10 btdc with plug removed

Well for one, a copy of a factory turbo cam wouldn't really be ideal for an n/a engine with flat top pistons in it...

Also, are you sure your base cam timing is correct? Try giving it a couple degrees advance and see if that helps.

like the timing lines on the sproket could be out a lil bit.

I don't see any parts there that would make an NA 2.3 run noticeably better than a stock engine. You might try advancing the cam gear a degree or two to see of that gets back some bottom end and check for trouble codes.
