Default 5.3l swap

Hello everyone, I've recently put a rebuilt 5.3l into my 01Trans Am. Im having running issues, it runs really rich. The first issue I found was coil packs passenger side were wired backwards. Which thru firing off, fixed problem runs lil bit better. Okay back to engine 04 5.3l 241 ported/polished heads. Cam 525/525 110lsa ASA cam. True flat tops pistons .020, block has been gone thru zero decked line bored. Ls6 intake, I'm having issues with map sensor I think it's new but no matter what it reads 80 kpa. I've got HP tuners but nothing I do changes that reading. I live just above sea level about 400 ft. Any information would be helpful

Thank you for the information. It led me to a broken ground wire. I've ordered a new pigtail, because it broke even with plug in connector. I also ordered a new map sensor to be on safe side. Pulling intake tomorrow,looks like best way to repair wiring.
