My brother had an engine where the cams were off by one tooth and the performance was terrible.
You said it was a new engine, who put it together and how carefully did they check the cam timing marks with the flywheel. It takes a couple of rotations before I trust everything!
Also what is your base timing, and is your vacuum/boost diaphragm working.
You should be able to test it with a timing light and some pressurized air.
If the boost part is not working, you will not be getting the timing retard you need on boost and you will get lots of knock.
