Describe "no power". Are you sure the cams are timed correctly?

Could be sumping if you pinched or damaged one of the oil pump o-rings. You should replace all three during a cam swap in my opinion just to guard against this issue...which is more common than you think.

When you pull the cover and more oil comes out than should come out, that will be a good indicator. (if this is your problem)

A little, but more noticeable will be the ever increasing oil temperatures. This is when it pays to have an oil temp gauge. Happened to a friend and his oil temps would keep rising and got well over 300. He pulled the cam plate, and discovered he had pinched in half the main O-ring on the oil pump. Half of it was lying in the bottom of the cam chest. Replaced the O-rings and the bike ran perfectly.
