Default Finally got take my truck for a drive

hell i really dunno where to put this but oh well..finally took my truck out tonight and drove it around..1st gear..well should i say is point less..its just starts spinnin till i let off and this is only 1/2 to 3/4 throttle..ran good drove just fine on the 5.3 tr224 tune..took it fairly easy..got it back to the shop fixin to come home and i go to start it and right as it starts fire shoots straight up about 7 feet..i jump out..holy ****..engine totally engulfed..i jump back in get my keys run to the shop and unlocked the door and got the fire extinguisher..and get it out..all it did was melt the plastic covering on the wiring harness..problem was that i still have the stock injectors in there and one popped off the fuel rail and gas went everywhere..popped it back in and came home
