What do you mean by "runs like shit" ?


What heads and intake do you have on the car? What blower? What fuel setup?

What is the duration at .050?

Did you check piston to valve clearance?

The piston to valve clearance should be fine! they are inverted dome je with little valves in them and I know the cam should work.
As for the custom chip it has a preburn from byron and it still is not running any good. The car has a real hard time at idel and is dying trying to work out the bugs so I could get it on the street
