Angry Me Also

I am also struggling with my 328. Replaced a cylinder head and after that no power. I have taken the car to BM Tech and they have done my cam timing but still the same story. I really don't know what to do.

With the MAF disconnected, the car is in 'limp home' mode which is generally rich. Check all the air tubes from the MAF to the throttle. If they are intact, the MAF is probably bad.
