Yes
A number of things....too much preload when you tightened them down would be the #1 thing..... Used NSA rockers with no guide plates and now the rockers are crooked over and off the valve stem. Or used SA rockers and the SA tabs hit the retainer and popped off a few springs.... valve train geometry is off..... lots of things, its not just a bolt on part if you don't know exactly what you are doing.
Need more info as mentioned by sb.

Yea, I didnt expect to feel a gain in power just yet, I added. 1.6 roller rockers, hardened pushrods, LT headers to a ORY with glasspack, went from 2.73 to 3.42's and also did a TH350 swap....
your going to have to pull the valve covers and verify that the valves are set correctly, however someone correct me if im wrong but the lack of performance your speaking of could be due to the different first gear ratio of a 4l60 to a th350.
