Dyno Tuning?

Well as far as the problems go I think it's all valvetrain related.

I dont think things are opening as much as they should. I could do a leakage test but didn't really think there was a huge need being it's all new The bottom end -I think- is 100% It hasn't even used any noticeable amount of oil but I can bring my tester home from work and run one if people things its a step in the right direction, I've spent hours and hours diagnosing this thing and even pulled the engine once already. Changed all 16 lifters and had the intake off several times.

It's now to the point where the builder is offering me options that all cost me more money which is what I am trying to avoid. I'm a mechanic but performance tuning/ building isn't something they teach in school so it is a learning curve for me but nothing too hard.
