    P0341 is a camshaft position sensor. Most likely it was bumped in the replacement of the head. Check the wiring to the sensor and ensure it's connected.

    P0300 Random multiple misfire. Do you know what plugs were put in the car?

    they meant, check the wires going to the sensor, not the spark plug wires.

    The question was what spark plugs were used? Brand and Part number, need to ensure they are correct heat range plugs.

    Supercharged, that makes good sense to check the plugs and their gap
