Wasn't the timing. The plugs were really black, maybe fouled out. Not really sure that would cause all this. I also checked all the wires and connectors, none loose. I will check again when I get back home. Wife in being induced into labor tonight. I am really excited. I'll do some more research.

Holy cow, you're having a baby tonight! Congratulations!

Don't worry about the truck right now, you're going to be a buzy, sleep deprived daddy for a while!

make sure you also got them in 100%

my last heads had a couple bad threads in them, and did the same thing.
backfiring, sputtering, and such.
It was leaking compression around the plugs.

RIght now Im sputtering once in a while...but I just put my heads/cam in and dont have it tuned yet...

What did you cranking compression end up being? I still am not convinced the cam is installed right If you do have it lined up, we need to know the cranking compression. Your cam could be ground wrong too. Did you degree it when you installed it?
