Unhappy What to do????

I have a question. I'm faced with a problem and I'm stuck. I have a 99 z28 Ls1 motor, with bbk headers. Yesterday evening I was on my way to move my car in front of my house and it didn't start. I tried to jump start it nothing happened, everything comes on except for the radio. It won't turn over at all. I'm serously confused on this one here, can anyone point me in the right direction??

I cheked my fuses, and one of them was blown. I just replaced it and tried to start it and that fuse blown also. So do I need to look for a short somewhere? But now the problem is where do I look for that?

start by tracing the wires coming off that fuse. depending what the fuse is for, start on the other end of the wire, check your grounds too

I know you, do a tb bypass and a ported tb. get some plugs and wires. then get a dyno tune at shreves and you will be faster. and by the way take those shorties off and get some long tubes
