Unhappy which crank sensor and cam gear?

hey guys, this is a 5.3L IV gen, i'm rebuilding it, just got confused about crank sensor and cam gear, crank has 24 tooth reluctor wheel (black sensor) with 1x cam sprocket, into a colorado 2004, using 2002 truck pcm, i'm almost sure cam sprocket is correct with this setup, when i tried to fire it up, it just throws explosions as it were out of time, am i using correct cam sprocket? should i change it for 4x one?

I don't think I've ever seen a 24 tooth that wasn't a paired with a 1x. The 4x are for the 58 tooth setups that I know of.

What front cover are you using? The VVT cover spaces the sensor far enough away from the cam gear that the signals are weakened...
