Alright so I recently installed:
-Trickflow Street Heat Upper Intake
-Trickflow Lower Intake
-Replaced a bunch of old vaccuum lines
-Accufab 75mm TB

I recently finished installing everything, made sure everything was tight even stuff I have not touched recently. I go to fire up the car and since there is no pressure I did not expect it to start up instantly. So I turned the key for a couple seconds. Let off, did it a 2nd let off, and finally the third time. Then I heard a pop and then fluid leaking which led to be gasoline. A good amount too, but it finally stopped after 30 seconds. From underneath the car near the oil pan it was leaking not near the injectors or the engine bay. If anyone has heard of this or had this problem please post any information, my car has not been working for awhile because I have been busy and the weather has been poor lately. Thanks!
 
Did you disconnect the fuel lines? If so it could be a bad O-ring or spring not holding the fuel. Or did you just push the rail out of your way while installing the new intake? If so, you probally bent a metal part or you just put a little too much stress on the old lines. Next time, I would suggest disconnection them with the proper tool and inspection the O rings before install.
