Alright tested the starter which of course was good.I finally got the motor to crank, for some reason it took ten min for it to turn over consistently but its all good now.I just installed the LS1 coils which wasn't to bad and for some reason i'm not getting spark. I looked at the aem diagram to make sure i pinned everything correctly and i'm just using the stock plug wires if that matters. can't get the damn car started if anyone could help that'd be awesome, thanks.

you need to check your settings. I did this upgrade on my SR with a haltec and I had to change the dwell settings and one other setting and the car started on the first try. So if your settings are good then it is probably your wiring. You need to retrace all of the things that you did in order to install these. Start simple, especially if the car started fine before installing the coils. I ended up becoming a member of the haltec's forum, I would look into that for aem or something of the sort.
