    So the Ford Motorsports injector (bottom) is the same as an LS2 injector??? Seems like they'd be totally different given the different makes of vehicle. Weird.

    OK - so like Billy said, I need the pigtails for the LS2's ('02 T.A. or Camaro w/the 5.7l).

    Maybe I can get some money back for the adapters.

    Anyway, Billy tracked some down for me for $8 a piece. Gonna either have Tyler pick them up or more than likely a courier.

    considering that you have connecters for both type connections, you have the ability to use two different type pigtails. Go with the LS2 connectors and you can sell the adapters.

    First of all, thank you to everyone who showed up to help on this. Special thanks to Tyler and Virgil.

    Friday evening, everything went fairly well. We pulled the headers and exhaust off my truck, pulled the exhaust off Matt's truck, and put the headers on his truck. The only two issues were one of the primaries was in the way of the bolted joint on the steering shaft. Should be easily fixed with a shallow nut and shorter bolt. Then one of the primaries on the drivers side was hitting the front drive shaft (4wd) but turns out it was because the motor mount was bad and making the engine sit lower that it should. So all in all, it was a successful install.

    The turbo on the other hand wasn't.

    The short of it is this was made for the original owner's Denali HD and will not work on a non-HD truck.We managed to get the downpipe in on the drivers side (after bending brake lines, moving wiring harnesses, etc,) but it was pushing pretty badly against the lower ribbed portion of the steering shaft. The wastegate sat too high for my hood to close (must have been ok on the Denali because of the higher hood). The intercooler wouldn't fit between the frame where it was designed to sit. I finally decided to stop trying to make it work and just pull everything out. So now all my go-fast parts are gone for the most part. I'm down to a stock block with a GT2-3 cam, stock intake with 60# injectors, stock exhaust, no more stage 2 heads, no more roller rockers, no headers.

    Not how I was hoping to come out of the weekend.

    The plan now is to regroup, sell the kit or part it out, and try to figure out what (affordable) route I want to go. Head is kind of swimming right now after the weekend, not sure what I want to do yet.
