new rebuild starting problems (94)

HELP.

I recently rebuild my engine and made a few modifications. I changed all the seals, FC Commander, GT 35/40 single turbo kit, pettit intercooler. I've tried to start it but I'm unable. I've checked the spark, the spark plugs are damp after turning over the car so I think I'm getting fuel. I've checked the sensors which I think they are all correct. I also checked the compression which didn't make me to happy. the front rotor had about 98 psi and the second rotor had about 80 psi. I don't think that is right. The engine should still run. The only thing that I think that it could be is maybe the timing. The FC commander is controlling everything. I don't know if the FC has the right mapping. I would think it would have the stock settings. I'm totally at wits end. Please help.

have you checked the crank angle sensors?
make sure the white connector is connected to the sensor more towards the pax side of the car. there should be a white mark on the sensor.

did you prime the oil system before you tried to start it?

Pull the plugs and clean them off dry.., Pull out the fuel pump relay, turn over the motor for 20 seconds with the plugs out. Put the plugs and the reay back in. Add oil (2 small oil cap fulls) into the intake plentum. Pull the boost hose on the nipple and use a bulb and squeeze a little in. Try and start the car..
