NC Car is NOT starting after aeromotive a1000 installed

I've searched the forum already and have done just about everything I can think of to get my car started. As I crank the car up, I see that I am only getting 8 volts (according to the commander) so that may be the problem. Another thing that I saw when I was attempting to start the car was the fuel pressure was dropping (according the the fpr). What could be causing this fuel pressure drop?

I've also tried deflooding the car and still nothing. At one point it almost cranked but seems like there isnt enough to get her fired up. Now I've tried using a working battery but yet nothing...but then again my voltage reading is low.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Tony

Try jumping it. Could definately be due to low voltage. I know for a fact my fc eats batteries. I dont know why. Alternator is brand f-ing new. Maybe it's all the hard parking in my driveway playing around with ****.

Try knocking it with a hammer a good few times. Not kidding either (seen a few aeromotives fire up right after they get a nice bang or 2)

Double check all your ground and positive voltage paths (to make sure you get at least 10V at the ECU while cranking), plus make sure that the voltage at the battery does NOT DROP BELOW 10V (to eliminate a battery problem). I know on my racecar, the Pectel T2 ECU doesn't work below 10-11V, and under those conditions, it will not start! As said in a post above, jumping, or a high-current battery booster may be necessary.
