I did the GM igniter mod and need help ASAP

Alright, I leave for the army the 23rd.
I got the wiring together on my GSL-SE for the GM Igniter mod, I can get it to start with some help, but Something is keeping it from going over about 3/4k rpms... What is going on do you think? I mounted the igniters on an aluminum plate and mounted it on the strut tower. Is there a stupid *** cross talk that wont let it rev over 4k rpms? I need help asap please, because I cant let it sit for 8 months while I'm gone.

Im not saying youre a goof, but you did'nt go direct fire on the trailing too, did you ?

It's only a go on the leading, but you knew that right.

It kinda goes to 3-4k rpm and just stops, stumbles, bogs, then it will rev up. Theres gotta be something up with these stupid igniters, they just don't work I guess worth a ****. Oh If I get it reving good, it back fires.
