Is the chip still plugged into the pcm or do you have it completely off?

Is the engine turning over at all?

Is the tach moving while cranking? How many RPM?
Do you see any smoke out of the tail pipe while cranking?
Fuel pressure should be 35psi minimum while cranking
Check all the fuses, especially #22 fuse under the hood again.

sounds like you may have 2 issues now, toasted starter and a blown fuse.

i think my starter is toasted i was getting a little scared because i put stage II's in it yesterday and thought maybe i messed up and it got hydro locked but i can turn it over by hand so i think the starter is just worn out

If you can, get a High Torq starter. Well worth the bucks.

heavy duty battereries and good cables are a huge improvement too.
