Default 6.0 problem.... Need help in paducah ky

Hi guys i have a afr headed 6.0 and just put in a custom grind cam, and now my tach doesnt work, poppin through the exhaust and hardly wants to run... i think something may be wrong in wiring harness bc my alternator quit charging as well... ive been tracking down the wires but dont seem to see a problem... BEfore this setup my car ran real good with a little smaller custom grind comp cam, went upper 9's on motor... now it feels like a 12 sec car popping and all... trying to get it lined out to hit it with the kit...

any ideas or suggestions lmk!

thanks guys!

check to see if the cam and crank sensor are plugged in and make sure the sensors are not broken, from maybe taking them out and puttin them back in... just check for any kind of looks grounds around that area and trace those wires back, might have pinched a wire somewhere when bolting something back up...

agree check the CAS and CPS see whats up there, look at the single small wire that plugs into the alternator and see if its broke, they break alot and the alternator wont charge anymore, i believe i have a couple sensors to replace the CAS and CPS if you need to borrow them to see if that fixes your problem.. im in paducah as well by the way

also poping back through the exhaust sounds like a plug problem too, we did a 6.0 swap in a truck and got it runnin and the truck had some bosch plugs in it and it was back firing through the exhaust and we swaped plugs with some tr-6's and runs great now..
