Is your engine flooded? Pull a plug and check.

Is your wiring modified in any way? Your sig shows you had an emanage at one point.

Connect your laptop and watch the gauges in megatune.
Look for manifold air temp, rpm, injector pulsewidth, etc.

did you install an intake air temperature sensor when you removed the afm?

throw the stock injectors in, then make sure the iat is working. Add new **** one part at a time for sanity.

Not that I know anything about the AFM, but doesn't it also trigger the fuel pump on as well? WAG on my part.

I'm sure the MSPNP is already wired to overcome this problem from the start, afm or not.

Do you smell fuel coming out from the exhaust?

Is the car is a nice quiet place? With the key in the off position, turn it to the ON position but not all the way to start, you should hear the fuel pump come on for two seconds, and then you'll hear it turn off. Usually you can hear the click of the relay as it turns on and off. You can do this again and again (if you have trouble hearing it the first time) to make sure the fuel pump is working... That's the first step.

With the AFM in place the fuel pump relay will get jumpered on by the AFM regardless of what the MSPNP tells it to do. With the AFM removed it relies on the MSPNP to prime the pump and then to activate it when you crank it. It's possible if a step was skipped in the install that it may not be commanding the FP to activate once you remove the AFM.

Did you try it with the AFM removed before you swapped in the 550's? That would have been ideal so you'd know if the problem was the AFM removal or the larger injectors. If it's the injectors it's just a tuning thing...

You mentioned you changed your REQ_FUEL... that's only part of what you need to change for larger injectors. It's important, but only after you get it running. If you didn't change your cranking pulsewidths you'll never get it to start in the first place with injectors that much larger than stock. It will flood in an instant. Also you'll need to change your AE PW's. All of this is covered in the manual.

Check this stuff out and let me know if I can assist!

Have you adjusted your cranking pulsewidths and accell enrichments to get them close based on the new injectors? I'd do this first, and it is covered in the manual.

Then disable EGO Correction before you tune: BASIC SETTINGS: EXHAUST GAS SETTINGS (Set Controller Step Size to 0). After tuning set it back to 1.

Also disable Accelleration Enrichment: BASIC SETTINGS: ACCELERATION WIZARD (Set MAPDot Threshold to 500 or something really high). After tuning set it back to 50.

Have a qualified tuner dial it in on a steady state dyno. Loading it into each cell and tuning fuel first, and then doing the same tuning ignition, finally tuning higher throttle doing ramp runs on up to WOT ramp runs. That's my preferred method anyways, your mileage may vary. After dyno tuning you can re-enable EGO correction and Accelleration Enrichments and fine tune the Accell Enrichments if they need it. Cranking PW, Warmup Enrichments, and AfterStart Enrichments could need fine tuning as well though they are probably close enough to serve you pretty well without adjustment.

Lastly is cruise tuning, which they may have been able to hit on the dyno or may not have been able to. It's sometimes easier to do while actually cruising with the actual load you'll have on the car in a real life cruise situation. You'll be looking for good gas mileage and driveability here.
