There is, but I'm not getting any cam codes only misfires.

Cam sensors are also brand new bosh ones.

So doing some onlie research, Cam sensors do a part to control spark. Crank sensor tells the DME what position the piston is in, while the cam sensor tells it whether it's in compression or exhaust stroke. Just because yours are new doesn't guarantee you didn't get a faulty one. If you can easily access them, it won't cost you anything to swap them and see if the problem goes to the other side. But then again like you said, if the sensor was sending an irregular signal, the DME would send a code for it. IDK. This is baffling.
