If you got the cam, breather and crank marks all good it should be fine....unless you got the ignition timing wrong.....did you seat the ign timing cup into the notch on the cam before tightening the bolt?
It should run without mods to the fuel map...is all your EFI wiring plugged in correctly?

When.I put on.the nose cone I set the ignition cup into it, finger tightened the bolt and then tightened it down. The ignition plate is pre set on the efi models. It only bolts up with the Allen headed bolts in the two holes.

Found notch?
Only one mark on crank, 2 on the cam. One for crank and other for breather.

Ign timing usually has two sets of marks, one for California and one for the real world but it wouldn't stop it running. Not sure what year they started doing it though.
