Default Need help after modding.....

Hey guys, Ive started modding my 98 Trans Am and have been doing the bolt on mods myself. So far I've swapped the stock headers with Edelbrock Longtubes, added an SLP ram air kit, Slp lid, smooth bellows, 85mm Maf, 90mm Nick Williams TB, Fast 90mm Intake, both intake and TB ported by vengeance racing to 94mm. Ive deleted the EGR and Air pump, updated the coolant lines. Right now there is no exhaust after the headers.

The problem I'm having is that since I've swapped the intake the car turns over but dies immediatley. Could it just need a tune or is there something I missed along the way. Any input would be great.
