Default PROBLEMS starting after cam install, tech guys plz help!

Alright, so after installing cams (and following the c-speed.com's install guide) my car will not start. It's not like it starts and then idles funny...it just won't start. My battery has been waining for the past couple months, but could the timing being off a little be keeping my car from starting, period? Any helpful hints would be great.

Recheck your cam to crank timing.

That's what it ended up being. I dunno how it happened, but what I thought was TDC for cylinder 1 wasn't that. Anyways I rotated the crank and used a long thin piece of wood (actually a chopstick) to see when cylinder 1 was truly at TDC. All ended well. Thanks.
