Timing off? Somebody please help!

The other day I missed third gear and went into 1st bringing the revs up past 6000 rpms. Afterward my SES light came on the car felt like it was misfiring. I pulled all the plugs and none were fouled. Could I have jumped timing? If so how do I fix the problem? Thanks

No you didn't jump timing Scan it and see what it says. Not good news for your main bearings though.

It scans P300, random/multiple misfire. Guy at autozone looked at my harmonic balancer while the car was running and it wobbles. I looked it and it definitly wobbles a little bit, but my dad said that I would probably break before it bent, causing it to wobble since its iron.

Also, my friend spun a bearing in his LS1 before and he said it was making a horribly loud noise and the car would barely move. My car drives like it would if it had a burnt plug wire or a fouled plug but the wires and plugs are fine.

Might pull the valve covers off and check the pushrods/rockers to make sure nothing broke.

You might have bent a pushrod or two. Definitely check out that wobble up front. There should be none of that going on.
