Every 10r12 plug I've put in needed to be gapped. Most were about .010-.015 too small...

Still have your old plugs? Try putting them back in and see if it changes back to running ok. If it does, maybe you got a set of bad plugs?

Check your pcv valve and make sure its properly seated. Mine wiggled its way out when I rotated the motor and did basically the same thing.

My NGK Iridiums were not properly gapped when I got em. There was a .01 difference in them. check the gaps.
