only thing I don't like about it is at low revs feels very sluggish until at 2.5. Other than that great mod for the extra kick.

The problem with performance cams is the longer duration moves the powerband higher causing a loss of low end power.
However, the 1.8 cam has the exact same duration (232*) as the 2.0 cam. The difference is increased lift, which means more air throughout the powerband, which does not cause a loss of low end power.
When I researched the 1.8 cam before buying one, I read like 30+ threads on this and not a single person reported a loss of low end.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's either in your head, or your timing is too advanced, which will cause a loss of low end power.
