Spark plugs not on correctly?

I have a V-6 Dodge 1500 .
it was running a little rough so I changed the spark plugs .
it ran better.
I must have mixed up four of the six wires a few days later.
I didn't hear knocking noise so I thought it was alright.
It was alright at first, I don't know how long I drove it, but then it started running like crap .
It was backfiring so bad and smoke out the exhaust.
I had to floor the gas pedal to keep it from stalling.
Even at 70 mph it was running like crap trying to stall.
At stops or slow speeds I had to hold the gas to about 1500 rpm's to keep it from stalling
So, spark plug change cost me about $50 all together, because I got a second set thinking I might try new ones and see if it fixed it,
but it was wires on wrong plugs
