Fuel lines and fittings are all done and buttoned up. All that's left is wiring now.

Can't wait till you get it running, it's gonna be badass for sure.. I bet you can get low 9,s ...
the wiring is actually pretty simple, like he said it can be done rather quickly.it took me 2 days also, but that was with no sleep at all..

I can't wait either! Low 9's with this setup will be fantastic.
I'm just nervous about the wiring part if I did it myself. I've never done anything like that and I'm tempted to just have the guy at LT1 do it for me.

Can you explain to me how you have your regulator hooked up? Like where does each line go? I have mine hooked up differently is why I ask.

Once the fuel line gets to the engine bay, it's hooked up to a Y. There is then a line that goes to each rail, and then feeds to the regulator. There's is one return line from the regulator going back to the tank.

Ahh gotcha....i have my feed coming down the driver side into the driver side rail, crosses over to passenger side, then to regulator, then back to fuel cell. I have one port blocked off on the regulator.

Thank you! There's been a lot done with this build, and if anything that's been done that helps someone down the road, that's great!

Here's a few random shots I have throughout the build where you can see the panels.

We did, but you don't have to. You could put it on right over the old ones.

just curious - why did u send the harness off instead of getting a harness from PSI Conversions? Is it basically the same thing, just converting to stand alone?

I already had the harness, and it's much cheaper to have it redone and modified rather than buying a new stand-alone unit.

I just bought a new one myself but that was only because I was able to sell my existing harness and pcm for 150 bucks lol helped offset the cost a little bit
