Default First start up after MS3 and headers, all good except....

Hello friends, I just finished up my cam install along with Pacesetter headers & y. Also deleted the air & egr. The cam is a MS3 with the spring and rod package. Also added LS2 timing set and SLP lid.

Here's the deal...
1. It fired right up after I reconnected the coils, almost instantly, (Didnt start off sloppy at all, had a somewhat less choppy than expected, fast sounding idle.)

2. I shut it off before it got all the way warm because I mistook my brother pointing to the radiator bubbling over for something going wrong.

3. Car wont restart. Fuel pump is running and I pulled a plug and it was sparking. I tried a few more times, it cranks smooth as can be but just wont fire. I gave up for the night because the neighbors will bitch since its getting late.

I'm wondering what I need to check next? Any help would be sweet, this thing sounded badass. I wanna hear it again! haha

Different cam in mine, but mine started out fast at like 2500 and as I was just about to kill it, it dropped and idle fine. Relearn I guess. You could have a vacuum leak or you may just need to try it again in the morning. Mine was hard to crank if it died on me until I got it tuned. May have to pump the pedal to let some more air in also. It's got some new stuff in it and computer is like WTF!!!!
