That just sucks to see all that hard work in ruins. I hope you get a little something from the tow company to help you on the next project.

apperntly when the fuel lines were taken off from the turbo so i could switch injectors, they were not put all the way on, the motor was half still taken apart because i was gonna go N/A. well..when the tow truck cam and got it to take it to go to the mechanic, he started the key, the injectors spit fuel everywhere, it caught a spark...and...this. i was gone on the road...and idk. just...alot of miscomunications i guess. im not sure. stroker motor is still in the works...but just in the next truck i guess. whats done is done i guess. sucks, the pics dont do this truck justice. it was a crazy nice truck. i had it exactly how i wanted it. but o well. whats done is done

Thats a hard one to put the blame on.

I couldve dont the same thing the other day. I had the intake off doing the knock sensor thing, and after 3am rolled around I decided to push it out of the garage and go to bed. turned the key on to put it in neutral.....forgot that I hadnt pulled the F/P relay. So it shot fuel all over the motor, just lucky it didnt find an ignition source.
