Default why wont this truck start

we installed a cam and heads on my buddies truck about a week ago and we cant get it to get spark.. it just turns over.. it throws a cam sensor code..(p0341 camshaft position sensor 'a' circuit range/performance (bank 1)

its an 08 chevy silverado 1500 2wd with the 4.8 non flex fuel model..
The mods are as follows
tsp 220/220 cam
ls2 cam gear from 06 gto(converts it to a 3 bolt setup)
tci 3600 stall
pacesetter lt's ory

any idea's on this?

Does the cam gear you swapped to match what the pcm is looking for? In other words, is it a 4X gear. Here is a picture of one except this is a single bolt gear. You'll notice that it has 4 raised places for the cam sensor to read.

The 2008 Silverado has a 4x camshaft gear with a 58 tooth crankshaft reluctor wheel.
The 2006 GTO has a 1x camshaft gear with a 24 tooth crankshaft reluctor wheel.

Do a search to see if anything can be done to make it work?

k truck still wont start all the parts are good to go.. we broke the pigtail connector for the oil pressure sensor at the back of the valley cover.. would that sensor not reading prevent the truck from starting?

Not sure but I would try it. The older motors from the 90's would start and then shut down if the oil press sender was bad.
