Scratched my cam?!?

well about 2.5 years ago i bent a rod in my car and when the rod bent i cruised to a stop about 1 mile down the road and the rod was way messed up, it was on the # 7 cylinder... the sucky thing is i was cruising in 6th gear when it happened so i have no clue why...
well i had the car PCM for less tuned... lt4 cam and bolt ons so it isnt like the impossible tuning job for bryan. but it runs like crap, it runs lean and then rich.... and we have changed 02s, fpr, opti, wires, plugs, pcms, maf (btw will a obd1 maf work with an obd2 car? because i have an obd1 maf in my 96 formula), and i am almost 100% sure there are no leaks in the hoses... i could have one in my egr (are those leaks common with the egr because that could be screwing my car up too) but the main question is if a bent rod could jack up my cam... i have heard that cams are super strong, but let me know.. if there is a possibilty i am going to rip it out and go a LOT bigger.

thanks braden
oh yea umm the reason why i havent dont ne hting in 2.5 years is because i am in honduras and have been here 2 years but i will be back in oct... so really the car only ran all crappy for 6 months.
