Default -PROBLEM- Rough Idle

As I have posted a few things about this over the last two days, I have more to offer in information to try and help me pin-point the problem.

I replaced the intake with an LS6 and added B&B Shorties. I have had a rough idle since install (two days ago) and back-firing.

Yesterday, I had several replies to check wires (MSD 8.5, less than 5,000 miles on them) and to check plugs (Iridiums with the same amount of miles), I found one plug that the tip was slight unscrewed, so I fixed that and the back-firing is gone.

Now, I have the rough idle from take-off, but the car runs fine at highway speeds. I checked everything on the car, took intake off and made sure everything was on correctly and my check engine light is gone, but I still have a p0300-multiple misfire code on the diablo.

I am going to check everything on the exhaust side today. If I accidently crossed the O2 sensors after the cats, would this cause a problem?

Any ideas?

Micah

check for a vacum leak around intake or vacum line off.
