Sounds very much like the timing is off! also possible that it is bad gas if it sat for eight months with ethanol in the tank, heard it doesn't stay good very long

How did the cams go bad? Did you rev it too high? Check the valves to see if any were bent. Make sure all the timing marks on your cam gears are lined up correctly. Just a couple of ideas! GL
