What RPM does it idle at? You can't rely on the factory tach. You need to hook up a diagnostic tach and the plug connector on the strut tower.

Ignition timing. Idle control screw (both should be checked adjusted according to the shop manual). Verify you have the correct cam gear for the head. Verify cam timing.
