Where are you guys hooking up the brown voltage gauge meter wiring to? I hooked it up to the back of my 99 ls1 f body alt and the low voltage led light stays on after turning the key off... I also tried the battery post and the same... I did hook it up to a switched power fuse spot and it seems to work.. any ideas??

I did it and works good! Also, how have you guys ran your fuel lines? I bought this kit and done the research on how to assemble the fittings. I am hoping to get this done once i get over a tooth infection...
But i'm looking for ideas for the filter mounting and fuel lines.

My friend Mike and I are in the process of it. 4.8 with a stock truck compressor (all truck acc. except the power steering which is off an FBody).
It is smaller and the lines come straight forward. Just made a turbo return line tight so we're running a pump on the return line and tapping elsewhere.
Didn't notch the frame either. Mike installed it with those generic ebay mounts, just drilled a few new holes for the motor mounts to frame.

EDIT- I keep getting "This content is currently unavailable" with the link.
1in setback plates + original sbc mounts
Pacesetter fbody long tubes (will require lil modding to fit)
Fbody pan fits but just barely, ctsv pan fits better but hangs about 1/2" or so.
Or
The non set back plates + original sbc plates
Headman gbody swap headers, no mods but more $$$
Gm muscle car swap oil pan, I think ctsv pan fits with these mounts but I'm not 100%. Could drop more $$ for Holley LSx pan, same as muscle car pan but little more shallow, should be about level with crossmember.

I have removed all the old hard lines from under the Monte, there are just 2 lines hanging in the back where the rubber hoses attached to for the tank. I haven't spent much time trying to get them out, but when I tried it only resulted in me getting pissed haha. Laying on your back sucks.
Went and cut up the stock line that runs the length of the frame rail, then cut the ends where I wanted them to stop. Tried multiple times to bend my own lines in SS but either you got it or you don't I guess when it comes to bending lines. Going to take it over to a tube bending shop and have them duplicate it for me and use fragola compression AN fittings on the ends.

PSI or BP Automotive.
Ive heard good things about PSI but never used them personally. I have one of BP Automotive fuse blocks since I redid my own harness. The fuse block is very nice quality, I also had him make me a simple crank sensor extension harness few weeks back. I sent payment via paypal and probably 3 hours later it was shipped and I had tracking number. I'm sure he has picked up quite a bit of business since officially becoming a sponsor recently so PM him and give him some time to respond.
