    Start with plugs. From there it could be crank, cam or knock sensors. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with fuel. From your information it looks like you started having missfires after you replaced the cam sensor. I'm guessing not OEM?

    Yup. OEM cam sensor from the stealer
    You think, even though the Denso IK22/24 are best for my set up, brand new Denso double grounds may be an immediate problem/cause of the continued misfires?

    Even if not you 100% need proper plugs with the sc. depending on your boost, too big of a gap will cause misfires at high boost. I would run the 24. Based on your freezeframe you also might have a vacuum leak. The "load" value is based on the MAF's reading. I don't recall what mine is at idle but 20% seems very high.
