There's a short somewhere, go over the wiring very thoroughly. Not something i'd like to do

pissed away a boat load of fuses, and i got a race sunday in a couple hours
i can get it to start i just gotta n*g* start it with a screw driver
but i did that once and i aint doin that again

Joe gave you advice you HAVE a short somewhere and you need to find it. There is probably a wire touching somewhere.

It's also possible that you have the negative and positive cable installed backwards on a major component, like the start solenoid, the battery (unlikely), etc.

Take a close look at the components that sit next to your battery and make sure none of the large cables are backwards.

Also, make sure you haven't cross-connected any of the plugs that are up under the front plastics. Make sure all the colors match on both sides of the plugs.
