ok i cant figure out why its not starting. its turning over but no spark. Im tempted to try the OEM coils to see if they work although one of them does not. heres a follow up of what ive done.

-New NGk BKR7E-IX plugs installed  
-Removed oil coils and put in splitfire ones  
-unplugged oil coil wiring  
-plugged in wire from the main harness that plugged into the splitfire ingition controller.  
-grounded the ignition controller to firewall  
-Plugged the coil wiring to the controller  
all this equals NO start.  
Am i missing something?

You are going to have to take a test light and check and make sure that it is getting power at the ignition coil driver wires. Sounds like its a wiring problem to me. I would double check the wiring on the ignition controller and make sure that the ground is good. (check using a test light).
