Really Rough Idle/Misfite after Cam install! PLEASE HELP!

So yesterday I finished up my cam install and when I started her up she kept dying and wouldn't stay on without giving it some gas. When it did stay running on its own it idled really rough. It idles so rough to the point that I'm scared of even cranking it and have only cranked it to see if I have fixed the problem. Had a tuner come over and tuned it and now it stays running on its own but the idle is super rough. He diagnosed it and Cylinders #1 and #6 came up as misfires. I checked plugs and wires and they seem fine. Coil packs are on the right side and all injectors are connected. At this point I really don't know what to do. Also the tuner set the idle to 800 and my own scanner shows idle bouncing from 450-600 and misfires on #1 and #6. Someone please help!

Here's a video of the idle:

TSP 231/236 Cam. I found out the problem tho, did a compression test and no compression on #1 and #6. Removed the heads and looks like I have bent exhaust valves. Not really sure how that could have happened but it did. I should have my "Cam install" done by Tuesday when the new valves come in...

It's all good and I'm glad I got figured out too. Swapping the cam isn't all that bad. I was a bit hesitant at first too but it's not so bad if you know what your doing and it also save you a lot of money.
