That is one very expensive box there. I'm gonna estimate between $400-500.

I bought the FPR from Cody, but all the rest came from Summit. Including the FRP, that box is worth about $460. Good call

I put together as much as I could. I'm missing the rails and the one 90* bend that I had to exchange that will go on the top left corner. Here's the basic layout.

The only thing I'd suggest is a radiused 90* fitting into the rails, if you have the room. Fluid hates making abrupt changes in direction like that.

Well I could exchange them pretty easily. I'll have to wait and see how much clearance I have at the rear of the fuel rails once the manifold is on the truck.
