I feel like that DSX kit could be cleaned up if they spent a little more time with the design. Not a big fan of the routing and how it sits.

I know this thread is a little older but just thought I would weigh in,
I have the lethal garage kit as well and the main thing I liked vs the Dsx was it gets it power from the evap selenoid and not a coil pack,

I too was not a fan of the Dsx plumbing and even though the lethal garage seemed better I had a hard time stuffing all that behind the engine safely,

Since I was also doing headers and other mods I cut the fuel line song the frame rail and plumbed the sensor behind the heat Sheid and added a lot of additional dei heat protectant and completely hidden and working fine more than 2 years even with the Dsx auxiliary pump installed as well

I just got my sensor mounted how I want it.

Lethal Garage kit
Cheap Amazon sensor bracket. I drilled a new hole and trimmed the access portion at the bottom
Cheap Amazon rivet nut kit using 2 M6 rivet nuts

Attached right to the coil pack cover since there is no good place to pickup from an existing stud or bolt. I figured these covers are cheap to replace, looks fairly OEM, still allows motor to flex and is not hard mounted and is easily accessible if needed. I normally would not run with any covers, but I don't really like the look of a bare LT1 coil packs/valve cover lol.

It was previously zip ties to the vacuum line with some rubber fuel line around it to keep it from chafing. Too janky for my taste to I had been wanting to fix it.

Looks good and looks familiar!

Do the rivnuts feel pretty solid on the plastic? I considered using them but wasn’t sure if it would just mush the plastic and not hold good.

They seem pretty solid and the rivet nut mushroomed as it should.

Good post, like the sensor bracket. Any cleaner Flex Fuel Sensor installs on the LT4? Post them up.

does this qualify as clean? I just made my own lines and setup for my port injection
