Default LS2 Truck Intake + Fuel Cell

I installed an LS2 TBSS intake and an RCI fuel cell on my 03 Silverado. As you guys know, most of my "custom" is usually ghetto rigged, so this time...its ghetto rigged as well Im actually still not finished and havent taken some better pics but in the mean time here are the details.
Ok, so i took out the fuel tank with all the lines and evap canister. I only kept the factory main feed line that connects from the fuel rail to the filter, the stock (new) filter, and the short hard line before the stock filter. The fuell cell is an RCI 10 gallon aluminum with sump and foam inside (no level sender). I used a braided hose from the cell to pre-filter. Im using a Holley/Walbro 480 lph inline fuel pump (Holley #510-12-920). Using a cut female plug from an old O2 sensor I wired the fuel pump to the factory truck harness. From the fuel pump, I used a rubber fuel hose to the 03 Corvette fuel filter inlet. From the feed outlet, I connected the stock hard line thats where it connects before the stock filter. From the return outlet, i ran a rubber fuel hose back to the cell. The main feed line connected to the LS2 (returnless) fuel rails. I kept my stock injectors on for now but will upgrade to the marine 8.1L injectors soon.
Like I said, im still not finished, I just hope it all works out well. I think that I should be done by next week.

BTW, i have an intank walbro 255 lph and the stock stuff for sale as well.

Looks good.
Most of the time guys mount the sump to the rear to ensure fuel to be supplied under load.
Not sure if it will matter though, just a thought.

What do you mean the sump is to the rear. In the 3rd picture that is the front of the bed not the tail gate.
