I had the same problem. From what I remember, I was not getting constant power to the coils. Make sure that after "cranking" there is still power going to the coils while the key is in the "on" position.

Not a ECU problem, but a body/engine wiring harness problem. Check your wiring from the column to the motor. Coils should be getting constant power with ignition and after iginition.

I have the same problem. I have swapped a supercharged 6.0 into a 68 camaro. The motor starts runs for about 4 or 5 seconds then dies. after I have tried for a few times And the motor is warm I can hold the throttle about half and when the motor starts it still dies but if I continue to hold the throttle it will pick back up run for a few and do the same. It will continue to do that I definitely I have sent the computer back to blackbear performance twice and they say they have disabled the VATS I have tried two different harnesses and checked the grounds numerous times. I have bypassed the harness for the fuel pump and the power for the ECU. Still does the same

Do you have the mass air flow sensor on it? Even though I had changed to speed density I still had to run the mass air flow sensor to get mine to run for more than a few seconds.

That's completely wrong. That means you didn't have it failed properly.

Did you figure this out? What did it end up being? I have almost the exact issue now. TIA
