Unhappy NEED HELP! VATS gone bad... HELP PLEASE

i have a 95 LT1 camaro seems like use to be auto and got manual swap. well i bought this car of my new neighbor he sold it because he was having some VATS issues but did now what it was so he just simply installed some kind of switch which allowed the car to start with out the key (at that point i had not bypassed VATS yet) but still needed key to unlock steering wheel the car ran perfect for about two weeks he said then one day didn't want to start.

Then i bought the car of him i knew it was the VATS to i bypassed it my key gave a reading of .53 ohms so i bought resistors at radio shack made a 530 resistor by putting in series one 330 ohm resistor and two 100 ohm resistor i installed it and it started car sounded GREAT as it has headers, full exhaust, flowmasters, and K&N cold air intake, took it for a spin it ran perfect! parked it turned it of and on worked again got out of the car came back about 20 min latter nothing....

battery died after trying to start the car over and over again this morning took it to autozone try to get it recharged they said my battery didnt work anymore.
came back changed the bypass to a new one as i thought maybe it burned (cant check it lost my voltmeter) it turned on for about two seconds made ugly sound and died. i couldnt crank it no more cause my battery completly died.

any help please.....

maybe its not a vat issue but a charge issue, something stealing the charge from the battery even when the vehicle is not on...

What do you mean by ugly sound? Engine noise,rattle,clunk bang or what?
