Check plug wire routing. You are not supposed to be able to see glowing along the wire on a good set of wires.

I have the same problem, except the glowing wires, I put in the new tuned pcm and it will misfire on me.

A couple of questions

1. Did you add the Taylors at the same time you did the Cam swap?

2. Did you check the Timing Sequence?

3. Can you please take a picture of you glowing plugs sounds kind of cool
