Depends how bad it is. When I was installing my FAST injectors when doing the Procharger install I for the life of me could not get them to set with the o-rings that came on them. I swapped them over to the o-rings from my stock injectors since they were a little thinner and they slid right in. The second I turned my key on I could hear and see it spraying a mist around a few of the injectors. Put the other o-rings on and lubed them up with vasoline and forced them in and never had a problem after that. You want them to be pretty snug.

You have to figure they have 58psi going to them.. if it's not snug and set correctly it's going to let you know.

Ill be picking the battery up after work and this truck will turn on today damn it!!! Hahaha!!

I sure do !! Im installing a 2002 camaro gauge cluster. I bought the cluster from ebay and the pig tail harness from psi. The cluster really makes a big difference. It makes the interior look so much better. The big plus is that ill have factory gauges and I only have $120 in the set up.

Nope, I have a small fabrication business and its been getting really busy. I work full time at AT&T and do the fab thing on the side. Its been a bit much to handle. I actually had it up for sale but it didnt get any attention.. There really isnt much left to do I just dont have the time. Its a bunch of small stuff. I may get something going this Sunday. I'm some what caught up with the fab stuff and I may get to work on it. I spoke with KB about him fnishing up the truck for me and he agreed to do it once he was done with his work load. That guy is pretty busy to!! Well see, If anything changes I'll be sure to post it up! Stay tuned I guess.
