sounds like a misfire? need help

I just finished the install of my procharger tonight and when i took it for a test run this is what happend.
First the only variables that have changed:
P-1sc previously N/A and ran good.

new plugs and wires autolight 104s

used 28 # injectors

when I took the car out it felt rough kinda shaky

it pops especially under load

and when i got to the gas station 1.5 miles or so down the road the pass side exaust manifold was glowing red.

I did not get on the gas at all the whole ride.

I let it cool off and made it home

plus idle feel a little shaky.

If anyone has any Ideas I would apreciate input

I didn't check the plugs yet because it was hot and i am tired

Thanks Matt

Check for a broken valve spring. Your knock sensor., however, If its only the pass manifold then it might not be your knock sensor. (something to look into) Also a locked injectorand a clogged cat.

I would also make sure that you did not cross your spark plug wires. Did you get your car tuned for the 28 lb injectors?

I do not think its valve related at all because it ran great three weeks ago and since then the motor has seen no more than 2000rpm.

I did not reprogram for 28# injectors i didn't think it was necesary.

I am going to check my wires in an hour.

It all depends on how many coils in your valve springs. As you make more cylinder pressure your springs take more...But if it ran fine before the blower its probably not that.

A stock 95 camaro comes with 24# injectors. Its not that much of a difference, but at low RPM it might. Does it feel like a miss when you rev it to like 3K.

I would pull the plugs and see if its one cylinder or the entire bank.
