Your combo sounds ok, but it's hard to say without some more information. How are your a/f's? Fuel pressure? Are you using an aftermarket ignition? All sorts of little things can cause issues. I know the a9l's are ok with some modifications but I'm not sure how well they react to different cams, that could cause idle issues, or you could have a vacuum line missing or something.
