Default Turbo GSR Skunk2 Pro 1's: Won't Start

I have a 95 GSR that I'm supposed to have tuned at RLZ on Saturday. It's been sitting for about 4 or 5 months while waiting on parts to come in. It originally had ITR cams (no turbo) and it ran fine, now I put my Skunk2 Pro 1's and turbo kit in and the car won't start. There is spark, fuel and compression there but it still won't start. I've read on Evans Tuning website about the quick-set cam gears, I have STR cam gears, so I know the count is a little different from the Skunk2 gears but even following the guide as best as I could the car won't start.



I'm not sure if you can shed any light on what could be causing my issue. I know with the car sitting for that long the 93 octane gas could potentially be bad but even if that's the case I would still expect the car to start and just run rough. The valves have been adjusted to Skunk2's cam specs, all the fuses have been checked and the timing is good so now I am stuck as far as what to do. If you have any insight that you think may help I am all ears! I really want to keep my appointment at RLZ on Saturday so I have to get this car running in the next 2 days.

pro1s are supose to be degreed in..put the itrs back on and add fuel....my car sat for a year with same gas and all it needed was a new battery n started right up..anything done to the ecu? check ecu...if their spark fuel and compression all u need is timing..make sure you timing belt is put on right...

if you degreed them with an actual degree wheel that would rule out your problem.

Yesterday we finally got it to crank. Pulled a vac line from the intake manifold and it fired right up. 24 he's later it wont crank again. Tried everything from before but no luck. Pretty frustrating

Do you have the original pros or a recent manufacture?
Old ones were not built to center and I *think* were generally ex 3, in 2. New ones are centered, so your gears should be 0,0. But for tuning purposes they should still be degreed.
