First, we'll assume the job was done correctly and all the obvious stuff (wires, vacume lines, sensors,etc) were re-installed correctly and double checked.

The cam timing is off. Either incorrectly manufactured or the wrong part. Place a dial indicator on a rocker arm, and bolt a degree wheel to the crank snout and check the cam specs.

Do you still have the old parts? If so, you can compare when you take it apart again.
