Bike not running right after cam install
Went to the local indy shop and I am having them put in a set of Andrews 37's with adjustable pushrods and the gear drive kit.
Went today to pick the bike up and when i started it, it was running really rough and sounded like crap, they told me i had to let it warm up and it would smooth out. after 10 minutes it never improved, went to take it on a little test drive around the block and it was falling on its face at low RPM's so bad it almost stalled (made it about 100 feet before shutting it off and pushing it back) They are saying its the map on the PCV but I got the Map from Keith at Fuel Moto and with their reputation I have a hard time believing that the map is bad. we tried a map off from power commanders website and it was still running like crap. I left and told them I expected an answer on why it was running like crap by wednesday but they seem clueless. (I had a similar cam put in my street bob by them and have had no problems)
Anyone on here have a similar issue when isntalling cams?
or have any ideas as to what the problem may be?

I just put a set of 37s in my 04 Standard. I had never done it and it started right up and idled lumpy but normal. The hesitation I'm getting is due to fuel delivery.(Ness CheapShot.) Getting it worked out a little at a time. As long as I keep the rpms up, it runs like a bat outta hell. So my guess is they mis-aligned them as was stated by dawg.

Gear cams? Did they check the crank runout to see if it was in spec enough to support a gear cam platform? As Dawg mentioned I would check the timing marks to ensure they are not off a tooth. I would also check the pushrods to see if they have been adjusted properly. Of course the dealer should have verified all of that but.......
Then after all of the mechanical stuff is verified, then refine the PC.
