Ask the shop to do a compression test on both cylinders. Numbers should be within a few pounds of each other. If one is a lot lower than the other, the cams are likely off by a tooth. Don't ask me how I know.

BTW - It's not likely that is what happened, and I would expect a shop to get a little pissed at the accusation they didn't install them correctly. Weider things have happened though.

I think Dunnperformance and Phil have probably the best estimate as to what is going on. A better cam choice may have been the Andrews 26 for what you have already on the bike.

Good luck.
