normally when it clicks it means your batt doesnt have enough power. and that causes the starter to click.
do your head lights turn on? if they do you should have enough power to start.

it was the tune. 1000cc injectors. it flooded the cylinder like crazy. detuned the ostrich and it started after pulling the ecu and getting all the gas out. YAY!!
