So, what that the problem?

It sounded like a dying coil.

First, I was trying to set the timing, but I couldn't get a signal with the timing gun... then I found that the #1 trailing coils is arcing with the strut tower. I switched coils and the same thing happens.

Still haven't found what’s wrong, I think it’s because of bad grounding (I painted the engine bay and didn't but any grounds)

I’m going to change to ls1 coils or MSD coils

haltechs are sometimes sensative to the grounding on the trailing coils. i've had problems with that before. strap on an extra ground and that should be good. shouldn't do anything as far as arching is concerned, but might help with a weak spark issue, once you get it firing without the arch.

kick your charge time up to high3/low 4's too.
