Default slight hesitation at part throttle at low to mid rpm

i did a cam install two weeks ago and everything went pretty smoothly. Two days after i got it done or so the ignition relay took a **** and it wouldnt start. It had no injector pulse and no spark. Now the car appears to stumble when you hit the gas at a low rpm and then climb like it should. I didnt really wanna look under the hood cause if it being hot since ive been driving it all afternoon. Could it maybe be a burnt up plug wire? bad plug? The car is NOT tuned yet...

Sounds like tuning. Lean condition will stumble.

generally speaking, if you have ANY drivabilty conerns after a cam install 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the time: its the tune (or lack thereof).

I don't believe in coincidence so I would strat by checking all of your wiring, something made that relay blow. Check your hoses, grounds, etc. When you say the computer is "freaking out" - what exactly is happening?

the computer will try to compensate for new engine parameters for a few hundred miles but because it still thinks its running stock hardware it will not be able to adapt to your new cam.

its the tune.
