Yeah, I wanted it to be as clean as possible under the hood so I routed the passenger side brake line along the rear of the engine subframe and up and under the brake booster. It's very hard to see.

RE FPR mounting: I went through this in Oct. The aren't many options. I removed my stock pulsation damper so I wanted to keep the SX regulator as close to the rails as possible to take advantage of its pulsation damping qualities (although I'm not sure how useless this is when it's not positioned between the rails).
Initially I was thinking of putting it in front of the manifold, but decided against this
because I didn't feel comfortable putting a fuel source right behind the alternator. (alternator sparks and fuel vapors don't mix :-p).
Plan B was behind the manifold, but as others have noted NHRA requires it to be 6 inches away from the firewall.
Finally, I ended up mounting it where everyone else seems to-the driver side shock tower. Aside from the extra line length the other downside to this location is it makes getting to the spark plugs and oil filter even more of a pita. In the end though it's the lesser of evils.
RE injector gromets: Dave Newbern makes a great injector spacer kit for the Bosch 1680s.
As many of you know the diameter of the secondary injector openings in the LIM is larger than the outer diameter of the o-rings on the Bosch 1680cc injectors.
Dave’s sleeve provides more support for the o-rings by filling the gap.
