Default I need HELP

Just installed my long tube headers, MAC's and 2.5 off-road H. BUT, Now the car wont even turn over. No idea why? I DID take the starter out, but it went in the condition it came out in (Functional). Now i'm completely stumped... So bassicly what i'm lookin for right now is EVERY opinion possible. So tomorrow afternoon after work I can do a run through, using what everyones told me as a guide. I'm sure somebodys gonna be right! Furthermore, I was wondering if anyone had any idea how loud my cars going to be? And what kind of power i'm going to expect to gain. I've heard LT's gain BIG torque and good high end ponys. 10-15 FTLBS to the rear wheels.

I hope I can get her goin tomorrow, I was so bummed out this evening when she wouldnt start and it began to rain. I hid in my room for two hours in the Fetal position crying

Would not crank over, and its not a bad connection from the negative or positive terminal. When I use a wrench to start the car under the hood their is just clicking. But again, I know for sure its not a bad connection.

Is the battery fully charged? Do you have a volt meter?

Thank you, i'll surely give that a shot in the morning. Hopefully I can figure this out, i cant wait to hear that Bitch SCREAM. My neighbors aare going to hate me more than they already do. Well.. I guess thats because I have everything from a Supercharged Rizzo Performance 06 GT to a 93 Dakota pulling holeshots up my street.
