HELP PLEASE WONT Start

Ok here is the whole story. The car when i bought it had bad turbos. So I bought a KKK stage one kit. A power FC and 1300 cc injectors and a Apex FMIC. So i get the whole this assembled and go to fire it wont fire. Im getting spark and Im getting fuel I think. When i had the plugs out it was spitting something out the plug port. IT smelled like gas so i assume im getting fuel.
I got it to fire once for a bout a min but was putting out solid white smoke. It took a soild 2-3 min of cranking. The motor was shaking so had it felt like it was gonna come out.
Any suggestions what it might be wrong any help would be appricated. Thank you

To me it seems like you're running very rich. Have you tried comparing your PFC settings to those of other people? I'm assuming you got everything from SR Motorsports. I once bought a TEC II from them, and the base map they gave me had my secondaries running 100% of the duty cycle of my primaries. When I got it started it looked like my yard was on fire.

Check out the Power FC forum. It's a subsection of the ECU forum.
