cant get the tpi to idle

Help!! I've just put together a 5.7 with a crane cam 280H series, actually a blue racer cam wg-1159, and I can't get the car to start or even to fire! I've checked the timing chain, timing marks, distributor, valve adjustments, everything that I can think of, can anyone help? I just changed from the XE294H cam as I thought that was the problem, too much cam, but I'm having the same problem with the smaller cam..

specs are adv dur 280/290 .050 dur 214 224 vlv lift 443 465.. so not a really big cam, but I'm having lots of problems getting to to run.

thanks

dale

Your title block says "Can't get TPI to Idle" then you say you can't get it to fire. Which is right? Very meaningful to the help you may get.
