Default Why wont car start?

I have recently put in a ARE 422 motor in to my car, its a 99 SS camaro, I cant see to get the starter to engage from the key, I bypassed the relay circuit with a wire to the selenoid and it fires right up and idles fine, I tested the relay it works fine, I got power to pin 87 and continuity to pin 30 which goes to the starter, pins 85 and 86 I get nothing? no power, no ground........ any ideas?

That's one place. There may be more than that but I can't think of any more. Did you get programming from ARE too?
