CRAP! Now my car is backfiring!!

I just got done changing my distributor cap and rotor (Still working on the coil

) , my belt tensioner and I cleaned my k and n. Everything was running great yesterday and this morning my car backfired whenever I gunned it! Freaking crap, it just started this morning, so it looks like I'm gonna be troubleshooting all day. Anyone got any suggestions!? Thanks you guys!

Timming is off or the chain jumped... I would bet the timming is off, check that first then check the chain.
