Default Code P0300, need help!

My buddy's car just threw this code, p0300, I looked it up and it said: Random/Multiple cylinder misfire detected. He put MTI's sleeper II cam in about a month and a half ago, could this have something to do with it? First time this code has come up. Would appreciate any info. Thanks,

Chris

A lopey cam & no tuning can give you this code.

yes, but WHY does it 'misfire'? is it real misfire, or is something just out of the range of the regular cam so it interprets it as misfire?

I think the lope of the cam causes the PCM to falsely detect "random misfires" for whatever the technical reason is, which i don't know.
I do know this. I got the same error from time to time after my cam install, sometimes it would go a week or two.I just disabled oit from setting an SES through LS1Edit. After tuning, I bet it would have gone away, but I still have it disabled since I know i don't have any real misfire going on.
