Default 0300 misfire after header install

I helped install a set of dynatech headers, Taylor 10mm thundervolts, and a new set of NGK TR55's on a stock 98 Camaro. The car is running like crap, and giving a 0300 misfire code. After the advice of my local tuner I checked to make sure all the wires were a tight connection, there were some that were loose. So we unplugged all of them and started all over, and it's still giving the error. Anything I could be over looking?

Real O2 extensions or cut and splice?

If an engine light is on I thought you had to go in with a scanner to clear the codes before the light would go off. Even after the problem was fixed??

Real extensions, but that brings up another point, one of the 02's came unplugged and got wet...helpful hint #1: Always check your connections after an all nighter header install..Would that cause an 0300? I figured if that was it, it would have caused an error in the 02.

More than likely.. Once when pulling the tranny I got a little oil on the O2 sensors and the engine ran like ****! It is amazing how shitty it will run if the O2 is not running up to par.
