Installed cams, now slower spool?

Installed some FP2's on my car tonight and replaced the timing belt. Took it out and it now has a slower spool. I have a PTE scm5031 and before the install it would start to spool around 3k, and hit 22psi right at 4k. Now it starts to spool at about 3700 and hits 21psi around 5k. I'm not sure if that is expected once cams are installed or not, but I was under the assumption that I would get a slightly faster spoolup.

Also, at idle, the car has a slight lope, but sounds similar to what it would if the timing was a tooth off. I was wondering if it might be the timing off or it is expected? We'll be checking the timing tomorrow, but I wanted to see if I might get any insight from here.

Thanks in advance.
