Default cam install = misfire

I had just got my new camshaft installed at a shop here locally in houston. I replace the springs with comp 921 springs, and hardened pushrods with a dynotune. The next day I noticed after driving it for a few minutes it began to misfire or bogg out a lil and not showing any codes. I checked the plug wires and they seem fine, maybe its the plugs? My cam specs are in my sig..any help would be great

I developed a strange misfire problem last summer. Only happened what the car got up to full temp.

Turned out to be a faulty coil pack, replaced it & all has been great since.

Replace and reinstall all plug wires as a start... Remember to hear that second click on the coil side of the wires.
