Default LS1 no Start, Need help

Alright so I got my car prepped to go get tuned for the mods that I installed on it and now i'm getting a no fire situation going on. It is getting fuel and air i know of for sure I haven't checked for spark. While cranking the engine over I hear compression out the exhaust as if it wants to start but it just can't. The car started the night before though it took a few tries.

When the key is being turned in the ignition the speedometer and rpm gauge keep topping out as if the battery is being disconnected and reconnected. The only code that the car is giving out is a MAP circuit low.

I checked for loose grounds or anything that is unplugged and haven't found anything yet. CKP is showing around 350 RPM when cranking and my scanner is showing 13 degrees of ignition advance.

It has a mail order tune for TSP and everyday i started the car its almost as if it was progressively getting worse and not wanting to start.
