Default 99 suburban backfiring

Okay so im hoping you guys can help me out or at least point me in a good direction. Heres the issue my suburban was running fine till i was driving about 35mph and it backfired twice and died out. Ive replaced the timing chain, distributor, camshaft sensor and, checked my firing order. It turns over but hesitates and backfires. Any input on what it could be?

You're 100% sure the cam timing is correct? And, that it's synched with the ignition? Make sure.. Considering the timing chain was replaced this could have changed and that would do it.
