New cam and idle

In my initial post, I said

It's up and running and hauls butt.
Once you take off, it runs fine. It's just the idle that I'm concerned about. I know it is a small(but quite a ways from stock) cam but just can' seem to get it to idle smooth. It sounds like a big cam. Only other thing I'm not feeling real warm and fuzzy about is when you stomp it from a standstill, it doesn't burn tires(no torque in other words). No. That is not my goal to see how many or much tires I can burn, just something else that I noticed. Even my slant smoked em from a standing start!
Unfortunately, my car is at a friends house and it is difficult for me to get to it other than weekends so I haven' had too much of a chance to try any suggestions so far. I did tell my friend if he had a chance to go out and bump the timing up and see what it sounds like and how it acts. No response yet.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I'm anxious to get this going and feel good about it too.
