Thanks! Got the easy stuff done today on the FiTech, the whole deal is honestly really simple. I ordered the remaining -6AN fittings and hose I need for the fuel system install, that's proving to be hardest part and mainly because I wanted to do it my way. I am modifying the coolant temp sensor to fit in the 5.3 head. I have a customer who has a lathe turning it down from 3/8npt to 12mmx1.5 thread. That will save the time and trouble of drilling/tapping the head. I can't put it in the water pump because my gauge sensor is already there.

It looks like I will have it buttoned up with about three hours into it if all goes well, and most of that will be in the fuel system.
