Default Preperation before turning the Key, All New Fuel Components

Wondering if there is anything I need to do before filling with Gas and turning the key to start my vehicle.

Vehicle Has::

-Completely Dry Tank at the moment
-Brand New 255lph Walbro pump
-Brand New Corvette Regulator
-Brand New Fuel Filter
-Brand New Braided Fuel Lines and Fittings and Hoses

-All new fuel components that have never seen fuel yet.

-Any "need to prime" precautions?.. build pressure before cranking etc?
Or
-Do I just fill it up with premium, and turn the key?

Thanks for the help!

Put a minimum amt of fuel in the tank, trigger the pump and look for leaks. That way, if there's problems, and the tank has to come out, you won't have to d/l a full tank.
You can do a couple key on, engine off, cycles to bring fuel to the rails. Once the gauge shows close to running psi, [58], try to start it. [You DO have a gauge, right??]

Really appreciate the reply. No Gauge yet, going to pick one up tomorrow, finishing up the fuel routing etc.. today. Probably will try to start it tomorrow...I'm planning on running Cyberdyne gauges, I have the Temp Gage, and oil pressure gage...still need to order a few more.
Do you happen to know what sender/adapter i'll need for the Cyberdyne fuel pressure gauge for this 1998 LS1 Motor?
