what size engine? if you have fire and fuel and still no start its timing or compression that is keeping it from running.

i would check and recheck the timing. its easy to get it off a lil bit and unlike those chevy guys us ford guys have to have it really close to get it to run.

i have zero experience with cams and FI. there are lots of others here who may chime in at some point. i would think it SHOULD start up even with the big cam but maybe not run as good as stock?
