Well... that is a WHOLE LOT of cam for a stock tune/stock intake setup... which won't help any minor problems there are. I'd try to see what the ECM see's and go form there... maybe your running lean and knocking (ig. retard).

If that looks OK - which is all it will - you are way out of tune, check the TPS for any dead spots, etc. Does this happen all the time, warm cold, part throttle full throttle?

I doubt this will be easy to diagnose given your mismatched combination.
