I did a little more searching, and it seems to be that my cam timing is off. It will start and idle, but bogs if any gas is added. And now that I think about it it makes since because when I was taking the cam bolt off I would hear a snap and the wrench would slip, I thought it was the wrench but is it possible that the timing chain was skipping teeth on the crankshaft? It did it twice then I got a breaker bar and it came loose. So im going to start taking my timging chain cover off AGAIN, but was wondering how I could tell if it was off. PLEASE any help is greatly apreciated.

If you have access to an FSM or a Hayne's manual all you'll need to do is follow the instructions for setting it at TDC(top dead center). There are alignment marks on the cam gears and another on the crank pulley. There are also marks on the chain which you will need to line up. If they don't line up like they're supposed to you'll need to take the chain off and line it up per the FSM.
