Could also be that the cam is installed wrong. I once had my cam & timing gears installed one tooth off, basically advanced about 18 degrees. The car idled and cruised good below 2500rpm, but anything above that and it fell on its face. That taught me to ALWAYS verify timing events when installing a cam using a good degreeing wheel.
