I have taken the car apart on top of the head and I had to put a new cam chain on because the old broke and now that I have it put all back together the cams seem like their alittle bit out of timing but the car is running fine but when I hit the gas pedal to the floor it takes forever for the rpms to go up

Here are 3 things to see if you are timed right. They are all done with #1 on tdc. See enclosed pics this should put you in the ball park.
