Did the fuel rails come with the proper fittings to connect up to the factory fuel line?
I've been wanting to get those as well just to make the engine less boring.

No, I bought all the fittings and hose separately from Summit, and then I built up the hoses myself. It's surprising how quickly the cost of the fittings adds up!!! I think I probably spent close to $100 on fittings and hose supplies. And that's the same reason I installed them, just to add a little color to the engine bay. Not really going to add any performance gains, but it sure looks good, no regrets.

IIRC, I think BBK sells a red fuel rail kit for the LS3 that does come with the crossover hose and the associated fittings. I don't believe their kit comes with the hose or fitting that actually attaches to the factory fuel line though. I know their crossover hose was a -6, I used -8 for all my hoses.....again, no big performance advantage either way I suppose.

Yeah I know about the fittings. the fuel system on my truck cost me almost 2000 bucks alone. All aeromotive with their stealth fuel cell.. But it's carbed so I dont know what comes with the fuel rails.

The fittings are indeed way expensive.

I'll make sure I order the right fittings then. Appreciate it.

Looks like your winter was full of fun
I know my previous car with gears would wine on downshift. Was normal for it, but haven't done it with the Camaro yet so I wouldn't know lol.

It was certainly a fun-filled Winter!!! I didn't really plan on installing so much stuff, it just kinda worked out that way in the end. And the gear whine isn't too bad, only does it when it is out of gear and decelerating. But I've had some people tell me that once it has "whine" it will ALWAYS have whine, it will not go away. So....I guess we'll see, it's pretty bearable anyway.
