Finally pulled the engine to find out what was wrong, and found the cam 23 degrees out, but the dots were lined up. This engine config had no piston to valve clearance issues. Fixed the cam timing and it was running on the class record.

The troubleshooting comment is so true. Chasing underperforming combo's I've made tooling to check the cam timing in the car - it's a real pain.

I ALWAYS check, and am perfectly happy when it is a waste of time.
^^ exactly but i wouldnt say its a waste of time, wether or not an adjustment was made at least it just another verified spec on the engine.
