Default Pic request: Unique Fi setups

Kits are nice and easy to install and for most of us make our lives much less crazy.....but there are a few among us who won't be satisfied with any "kit"

This thread is dedicated to those who chose the path less traveled and built their own unique FI kits.....

lets see them!!

Cool Deal Tracy. just about ready to go out on the street with mine. Those are some kinda older pics above but, thats the basic idea of it. Designed and built the fuel system myself too. That's a project in itself.

heres some more info on the build if your bored or haven't already seen it.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-f...pics-alot.html

Thanks for the compliments,... the car is a real pain in the *** to be honest but, once you get used to it,..it's still a pain in the *** just not so bad. Either way, I am glad I did it.

You ain't bull sh***** bro... My cousin also has the LSX sickness,..I have inherited about 8 cars to work on,...only two of which are near stock and somewhat problem free. Hence,...why my own personal build takes so long.

Never ending is right.
