I'm going to take a wild guess: is it a 360 or 390?
Try posting in the FE forum:

If you give motor info, part #s, etc: they can isolate the problem pretty quick.

OYYY! Yeah, click on the link I gave. The 360 is a low compression motor. Not every cam is an upgrade. Post the cam specs when you get there, those guys will steer you straight.
