Angry 6.0 problems, wont start, need help!!

I have a 2003 f250, straight exhaust, 3.5 in down pipe, super chip programmer turner on high, afe brute force 2 air intake, and an unplugged egr valve. I just replaced my batteries about 3 months ago so both batteries are new. hooked up some cables to it and slapped em together and sparks flew everywhere so the batteries seem hot. I get in to crank it up and it acts like the batteries are dead starter clicking and gauges jumping. I hook up another car to it to jump it off and it will crank after it has set there for a few minutes. let it run for about 2 hours and kill it, same thing happens. I have the alternator off right now about to get it tested today. let me know what you think.
