Default battery relocation problem!!! question!!

i have a 95 5.0 gt a with a optima red top batteryand I just movedthe battery to the trunk with a summit racing relocation kit, i connected the new power cable to the 2 cables up front and ran a ground under the car and bolted it to a clean spot on the frame, now when i try to start the car it wont start, all the lights and everything come on but it wont fire up. even when jumped it wont start but if i connect ajumper cable to the exhaust and to the neg. side it will start. i cant figure out why it wont work. did i forget to do something? hasanyone ran into this before? thanks

Did you mess with your starter wires or starter solenoid wires?
