I had a post all written up and my stupid internet range extender cut out on me.
Anyways, your wiring sounds almost the same except that I don't have an inertia switch cutoff. I did have to tap into the underhood fusebox but I think I'm going to re-route that connection to make it look a little cleaner.
My seat makes me sad as well... there goes 400 bucks I could have put towards my CXracing intercooler setup I was going to get!

What fuse did you tie into in the box? The last setup I had just had a terminal that bolted to the outside terminal near the fender.

I've heard great things about Bar-none which maybe set my expectations much higher than they should have been. I haven't had the greatest experience with this transaction.
The kit was well put together and packaged though, especially the wiring, and lots of the parts seem great quality, its just some of the fittings were a little iffy and contacting them has been somewhat troublesome.
Anyways, I tied into the #5 fuse which is a normal 15 amp fuse in the underhood relay box. I believe it controls the reverse lights and potentially something to do with a towing light hookup or something. Whatever it controls, if it goes out, it won't cause any catastrophic issues.
I do have a wire connect to a terminal on the passenger side fender. It connects to the starter solenoid signal so that when the starter gets power, the pump gets power as well. However this only gives it power when the starter is engaged, which is why there is the oil pressure switch as well (to give it power when it has 5+ psi pressure.)

A clean open valley is nice. But i also lack the inspiration to put together a e fuel setup and delete the bowl. rather spend money elsewhere. I am going to cheat and run a SD reservoir and fuel bowl. E-fuel on the cheap! its a little cleaner with out the pump in the valley and all the little 2" blue hoses.

I have a res and filter assy but just couldn't go that route. I'm very happy with the increased filtration .

Well I'd be very happy to have it running by now, but no dice. I was just too over it by the time I got the pump and filter mounted. The 5 year-old kept asking when I was coming in so I had to give it up until this morning. I have wiring to do, HPOP to fill, double check the checks and fire it up. Say a prayer for me.

I was gonna say Corey, you might as well bite the bullet. You'll be glad you did. Put it this way....if someone gave me a choice between injectors and E-Fuel, I'd choose E-Fuel...that's how much I think it's worth it.

I'd do a real fuel system for sure but with good stixs I feel it is impearitive. I might tho build a setup for my brother in laws truck with this stuff for ultra cheap to get him efuel.
