Timing light should still work. It tells you when the plug fires in relation to crank shaft angle. This should NOT change. Generally speaking 'all cars' run 15*BTDC. So you still want to be there.

If you mean to distributor, yes they came labeled and the caps labeled so i have double checked and made sure all of them are in the right spot.
correct, if you have cylinders firing out of order it will run terribly.

I am not at all convinced MAF will do anything.

i feel like theres a decent chance it is out of time
This is the direction you need to be thinking. Misfire, preignition, out of time, out of order. something along those lines.

I really cant help to make sure your timing chain is correct, since idk wtf this dual cam thing is. But IMO that's your issue.

Do you have any codes? [Knock?] EDIT: I know you said you didnt before, but now you have actually driven it, that can change.
