I did sell the fuel rails, sorry.
Yes, it is true, the truck is up and running and sound spine chilling to say the least in person... sounds like an animal - I opened the cutouts for a few seconds...
Although we started it, we are tracking down a few codes still. Truck doesnt have a tune on it yet... the computer I got for the truck is DOA, so we are using a stock computer... truck is getting a dyno tune next tuesday from Justin, as long as we can track down the issues and get a baseline tune on it before then - so we know know if there are any electrical issues.
Im excited to hear it run, but more excite to RUN it... gotta make sure everything is playing nice together first.
the next 5 days are going to be busy...
I will get a video sat night after the detail!

the rails were sold awhile back... sorry bro!
Jeff at JPA went to bat for me today, the guy KNOWS his ****. I brought the truck to his shop for most of the day - he got it started, but the startup tuned PCM didnt work, we had to use a stock computer - we are still tracking down some codes and rechecking the wiring - but we have it running.
It sounds like a beast too - the exhaust is wicked, and with the cutouts open -
ALOT of work through the weekend... thanks to everyone who has helped, is helping, and who will help complete this project by Tuesday.
Once we get the kinks worked out, the rest of the parts installed, the detail completed, etc...
I will post some pics and video - most likely Saturday night... its taken more than a year, a couple more days wont hurt!!

I totally understand bro. Reason I asked is my internet was acting weird the other nite too. Just whenever you get a chance though man. I'm glad to hear it's running though. I'll be waiting for some video lol.
