OK...I hooked up the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail and got no pressure while turning it over. I left the SS line on the fuel rail and took the pressure gauge off and cranked it to see if any fuel was moving to the line. Nothing. If the car will not actually run, would I have fuel spitting out of the SS line? I removed the schrader so nothing is blocking it.
I still hear the fuel pump engaging so I'm pretty sure it's not the pump.
Could my Vortech FMU becausing this?

No gas anywhere, any under the car? Go ahead and check out FMU under the car, look for any leaks. You remember to hook everything up right, you have aftermarket fuel pump. More info, If no gas is getting to fuel rail you must have leak before it, esp. if pump is working.

No leaks at all. If the Vortech FMU return lines are swapped, would it cause this? I came off the side of the Vortech to the FPR and from the bottom to the tank.

Did you just install the fuel pump? I've seen them installed backwards from time to time, and that means no fuel gets to the rail, despite it priming... in the wrong direction. Like Dark said, get under the car and check things out. See if you're getting fuel to the FMU. If not, you've either got a blocked filter, blocked line, or incorrectly installed pump.

Problem resolved. It was a faulty fuel pump. I put the original pump back in and the car ran fine. I have no idea why the pump worked for the first 15 minutes before it died.
