can't even push start now...

put the lt8s in my 88 tii it drove fine. put in the greddy turbo kit and 1600cc injectors in the secondaries and went to the dyno. when we tried to tune the secondaries it just bogged but still idled and ran fine. but when i shut the car off it wouldn't turn back on. had fuel, spark, fuses fine, good compression but wouldn't fire back up. we couldn't even push start it! the engine would just rumble and didn't want to start at all. what else should i check?

If you're running too rich, there's a chance you could've fouled the spark plugs so bad they won't spark.
