Thanks guys,

No IC because i am running e85 and have meth injection, just not a fan of IC's taking up room, I like a clean and simple look

got most my fueling stuff done tonight, just have to run one line up

it is a single -8 to the front...that Y's into 2 -6's and one feeds each rail

you will see like absolutely no plumbing in the engine bay.... just one line coming in the back of each rail with a plug on the front end

Magnafuel pump, filters, and big *** FPR


tank cover with all the **** cut off


.
.
.
FPR bracket


.
.
.
fuel pump mount


.
.
.

and you can see the -8 return to the tank


.
.
.

rest of what it looks like

Looking good, you will need the meth to keep the iat's down, I have the same turbo on a 5.3, anything over 8lbs and the iats went through the roof before I added my intercooler.

I am pumped, no issues, i usually forget something and have a mess from a leak or something

even more pumped to get it off the jackstands

that pump really moves the fuel, and isn't obnoxiously loud either, just a high pitched whir

spool is going to be impressive, i can light that thing up just free reving

open DP yes

Hope you're not planning on driving this around town much, those fuel lines are hanging pretty low. Otherwise, well done!

lighter than i thought

just got done putting 12 gallons of fuel in, without me in the car of course, i am 155lbs

so not bad for an iron block and turbo setup

helps in the power to weight area

That car must be a monster, so light and a Turbo V8. Good job on all the fabrication and DIY

What EM are you running, I caught it was full standalone any other details would be cool
