Ben,

When you get it running have someone shoot the headers with a temp gun to see if one cylinder is hotter or colder then the others. start checking right away at start up

also check your wire size on the new switches, perhaps they are incorrect size or wired in a way that they steal voltage via a shorted wire.

one thing you can try, see if the car has a electrical draw...........shut off all the accessories..........does the battery spark when you hook the cables up? if so pull fuses one at a time until you find the circuit that is causing the draw.
next check the draw with your new switches turned on one at a time. see if any spark more than others? actually wiring an old door buzzer up with clips on it does wonders for performing these tests, and safer too.....
Did you install any relays with the new switches?
