    At this point it's just waiting on a set of GM injectors since the guy who had the engine before had swapped those out for Ford ones. Haven't heard back from my brother on whether he was able to get those or not. After that it's ready to go in!

    They wouldn't hook up to the wiring harness I believe. Will have to check with my brother on that one.

    If I can find the correct injector plugs to splice in, then I'll just order some. I'm not sure which style they are. I think they're EV1's or something like that. Would cutting the plugs off of a Ford car/truck work?

    If either of you guys know the answer, or know someone that does... Todd possibly... could ya'll point them in the direction of this thread?

    I think you're having issues because it appears to be a FAST intake with FAST fuel rails and probably FAST injectors. Maybe contact FAST and see what you need.

    If the plug won't work, the injectors are more than likely EV6 style so you would need an EV1 to EV6 adaptor. Most aftermarket stores sell em.

    Agreed....poorly done free ram air mod. Don't get a new air box, just finish cleaning/cutting out the bottom. That way, all the air that comes under the car and catches the air dam,will be forced into your air box and then into the engine. Good for some free horsepower as long as the car is moving.

    I already have a FTP Ram-air Kit for the car. The one on the car looks to be damaged a little around the front as well, so if I can find a good one, I'll make the necessary mods to it and install it.
