Default big problem after removing t56/installing T101

So, i pulled my T56 out, and installed a T101 nascar style gear box. now the trans wiring harness plugs are left open. it ran fine in the shop, idle, rev and all. i trailerd it to the track and ran it. the engine cut out, and felt like ignition. it did this on and off intermitantly on runs. then it died all together. now, when i can get it started (or it just cranks like its not getting spark) it runs like crap, and only stays running if i hold i about 1/2 throttle.

Any ideas? car ran great before the new tranny went in/sensors were removed...
