Limp home mode

Is it possible that my cam is too much for limp home mode? My earlier posts discuss my troubles w/ my prom, now for another question: When my car goes into limp home it barely runs! Sputtering, backfiring, not even enough power to pull a small hill at 10mph in low gear! Or, is this another symptom of the bad prom?

Limp home mode is a default series of settings. No distributor advance (other then what's in the ign module) etc..
Very often on hot rodded cars, it's about enough to get you out of traffic, and that's it.
In limp home mode the eprom isn't even in use.
