Plugs are BLACK- covered in carbon, car runs aweful

Well i got my car running good after the new cam and headers and such and it has been running trouble free for a couple days. All of the sudden the car is shaking more, runs aweful, almost liek one cylender isnt firing. I pulled a couple plugs and they are black with carbon. What do i do????

Try your old coil once, maybe the MSD went bad. Another thing that can foul plugs fast is FP problems, I have heard of the regulator leaking internally and sucking fuel through the vacuum hose, do a little digging there.
