Well today I switched the wires on the cam sensor connector to the correct spot and still can't get the engine to fire... I also tried swapping out coilpacks for the heck of it and still nothing... Anybody got any other ideas? Cam and crank sensor were in good working condition when motor was pulled from donor car... My pcm has been tuned also eliminating all vats and whatever else I don't need

Why are you swapping wires on the cam sensor. You start out asking about crank sensor wiring then start fking with the cam sensor wiring. They will run without a cam sensor signal. Will just be hard to start.

I started fking with the cam sensor because I also noticed that those wires were also not In he correct spot after looking at the shematic picture you posted. as of now I have the crank sensor connector and cam sensor connector all wired up according to the schematic and all the wires go to their correct spots on the pcm again according to what the schematic says. my next guess would be a bad crank sensor I suppose

Do you have a scanner? Are you getting any rpm indication with a scanner when cranking?
