Default Built Dohc zc no start

Hey, we got a problem here, this thing wont start, we just built it and put it into the car and its a dohc zc with a greddy turbo kit on it. when ever we try to turn it over it doesnt even fire. firing order is right, timing is right, it gets fuel and it gets spark. however when you turn the key it skips when its trying to start sometimes and when you hold the throttle open it starts on occasion. but whe it does that it sounds like complete **** and it studders and pops like every 5 seconds. changed dizzys a couple times. someone told me the main rely but i dont think that would be it. im running out of ideas and patience. any helps appreciated. this is not my car either.

also it has dsm 450's and turbo edit. we had this motor with the same setup before but it blew so we rebuilt it. the only thing is differnt is that we dont have the afc anymore. witch we had leaned all the way out at -30 for start up and idle. we pulled all teh plugs and looked down into the bitch and #3 has black ****, as if its the one firing and the other 3 have fuel sitting in them. i think its getting flooded and now the plugs are fucked from so much fuel.

Sounds like it could be a timing problem. Recheck your timing belt.

Are you sure you have set up turboEdit for the 440 injecters? If it is set for stock injecters it would flood the motor with the 440s in there.

are spark plug wires on correctly? #1 on the distributor cap on the DOHC ZC is at the top
