help, car wont fire.

i just did a whipple and cam install on my ‘10 ls3. its getting fuel, plugs are wet and i couldnt get spark. i did a zr1 map sensor and new injectors. car will turn over but will not fire. the cars previous tune was for a cam,lt, intake, nitrous setup. will this play into it or should the car atleast try to fire?

I would check all ignition wiring plugs, then the cam sensor, if you can't get any spark at all, this is just where i would start i am far from a mechanic though good luck hope its something simple

Did you flash the tune with the new injector data and the new map sensors offset?

I wouldnt even try to start it without that.

i bonded all the grounds to the block, but i never bonded the block to the chassis. i only turned it over a few times to see if it would fire. spark plugs are wet. ive done a few cam swaps. i just find it odd i dont have spark. its getting a startup tune thursday. so if it doesnt start after that����*♂️

I had the same issue on my 2010 SS after a Manguson SC install. Turned out with my year Camaro didn't have the SC tables to support the SC. The ECM had s down level program, took it to the dealer to have the current FW uploaded. Started right up after wards. Not sure it's your issue but it can affect the early Camaro shipments.
