Default wont run after cam install

Just got done with installing a thunder racing TR 230/224 .575/.563 111lsa cam started right up and after about 30 seconds began to hear valvetrain noise so i shut it down and found a messed up rocker. After replacing the rocker it wouldnt start so i pulled the plugs and they were drenched in fuel, i thought no fire, tested that its got fire, changed the plugs still same thing, checked the crank sensor and it was bad replaced it still wont start. If anyone has any idea what is wrong or it just needs a tune that bad please let me know

Did you swap valvesprings?

Are you sure the cam was dot to dot?

Makes me think you smashed the valves the way you talked about valvtrain noises after running for a few seconds.

Sounds silly but check your fuel pump fuse if you haven't already. My fuse blew after I did my swap for some reason.

It most likely gas fouled the plugs again. Try swapping the plugs out.
