valvetrain noise???

hey guys..i just did a port n polish head swap...and new camshaft..also did shorty headers..new old pump, new timing chain, after i was done with the install i started the car and the valve train noise is very loud! i have 1.75 roller rockers, new double valve springs, titanium retainers. cam specs are as follows..228 duration @ .050, .620 lift, 114 lsa..ive drivin it for over 50 miles now and no change in noise..also the car feels like a dog! idk if the computer is just trying to figure out whats goin on or what but the car is slower if anything! any ideas on my problems?

Re: valvetrain noise???

Sounds like the valve lash needs to be reset.
