What plugs did you use? You also need to get a set of better wires like GMPP.

If your car was running fine prior to you taking it to a shop to have the cam installed/tuned & then after the cam install you have signs of a miss & fuel starvation....
Take it back to the shop that did the cam/tune & have them make it run right.

Lack of fuel after a cam - assuming the stock fuel pump or injectors are in play - will NOT make it bog off idle. It will show up at higher RPM when the fuel demand increases.

Take it back and have them TUNE it.

Your tuner can TURN OFF the CEL light for the misfire... Ask him if he tuned it out. If so,, you still have misfire issues that need fixed..
