Well the motor is in the car now, with everything plugged in and what not but it wont start. You can here the soleniod clicking and the starter trying to move, but it won't turn over. Also tried jump starting it with no luck. Any ideas??

may need to shim the starter? Also make sure you dont have a leaky injector which could mean it is hydrolocked

Yup, i got it figured out, and it was a ground wire. It finally fired tonight!! I was so glad to hear it finally run again. I think if i adjust the TB screw it might even wanna idle. I'm calling redline performance tomorrow in STL, to see if they can get me next week sometime to get it tuned. I hope to get the suspension setup tomorrow well enough so i can drive it a little to break it in.
Yeah you can try adjusting the screw but like me you'll need to adjust the TPS and IAC. I already adjusted the screw to help it idle but need to reset the TPS and check the IAC. I'm sure you're loving the way it sounds. I know I'm liking the way mine sounds. Sounds like a full blown race car.
Are you running it with the bigger injectors untuned? It would be a shame to have it done and then flow the cylinders with fuel.

Well i think its finally time for a update I had the car, street tuned finally. I think with a dyno tune i might be able to get a little more out of it. It put down 377hp/342tq. I'll try and get the graph up soon. I took it to the track last night, and ran 2 11.89 passes, one at 115.78 and the other at 116.02. The car has a miss to it. I think its a plug wire, because they're brand new plugs, I put them in yesterday hoping that would fix it. I'm gonna try and trouble shoot it some today and figure it out.
