4th Gen V8 timing belt change issues , ideas where I went wrong?

I finally got enough activity to post this issue.

I did a ton of research, watched videos and checked out the manual. I replaced the timing belt, water pump and crank seal.

It took a few days because I have 2 jobs, a newborn at home and sleep is non existent.

I checked all the marks 3x...4x and hand rotated the engine to verify the marks lined up and there was no issues.

I finally got it all back together and the moment of truth.

It fired right up, I did notice some "ticking" that I don't think was present before and then once the engine got up to temp, the throttle response is very delayed and there is a very loud air sucking sound on acceleration.

Any ideas where I went wrong? Is the belt off a tooth? did a MAP just happen to go bad at the same time?

thanks
