Or..
You definitely don't have an exhaust leak right?

I dunno bout the springs.
I cant hear an exhaust leak, but i guess it maybe possible. Is there any way to check say the manifolds to make sure they arent leaking. I did reuse the gasket on the front for the plog so i mean maybe. Can i like spray it kinda like checking for a vac leak. any suggestions?

TJ, an exhaust leak will tick. You should also see carbon tracing near the leak on the cylinder head. Use a flashlight and a mirror on a dark night (no ambient light).
Don't rule out cracks in the rear manifold.
Don and I were talking about the possibility of a wrist pin. He had the same symptoms on his with that as a root cause.

and would that leave a dis-coloration on the em'*?

I'm thinking you should see KR at 4500-6000.... I would think if you were short on fuel and you may be on the top end, I wouldn't think you'd have KR so low down in the band...
But I'll wait and see what TJ figures out

see what confuses me, is this motor ran perfet before the cam install. No hiccups at all.
So that is why i am thinking something cam related. not enough fuel, possible exhaust leak, bumped a knock sensor on motor reinstall, ect, ect.

Concerning finding exhaust leaks, I have a trick way of doing this. Go get yourself one of those automotive stethoscopes that has the mini-megaphone looking attachment for it. Then, with the engine running, move this probe over all exhaust components and mating surfaces to see if you can hear anything puffing out at the probe. This thing also works great for finding vacuum leaks or narrowing down rocker ticks.

I'm right there with you on the need for bigger injectors, TJ.
With all my little nickel-and-dime L36 mods (PLIM, PEM, L67 TB, GAB/K&N, 2.5"DP, hi-flow cat) plus SR rockers, my WOT IPW'* lead me to believe that, once I ditch the rockers and go to a GT1 cam, I'll need bigger injectors, too.
