You did so many things, it's hard to really pin point the problem. Make sure you didn't cross up your spark plug wires, +1 on the s plug gaping.

Are you sure you have all your plug wires on the respective cylinders? Melted plug wire? You didn't bundle the wires together did you?

Yeah, you'd want to reset the computer for the injector or the CAI change. I have a feeling that may fix your problem.
