What did you guys do with the wiring harnesses that go over the strut towers?

Buy this kit. It's cheap and complete.

Here's a shot of my engine about 7 months ago. It's got some turbo stuff on it now.

Here is a good write up about how to do it. You can buy the bit you need from Home Depot for about $13. Basically, you drill a hole in the back of the strut tower and re-run the wires through that hole. Its not hard, but takes a little time and patience. Good luck with it

where can i get the piece of rubber that goes by the air cleaner.. i think it is suppose to seal it when you close the ss hood and where can i get a chrome bolt kit to replace the fender bolts

Actually I pay about $25 for all the stuff at Lowes when I'm knitting kits together. Then I print out color instructions. I add $20 to cover my business fees and whatever else is profit.

The !mod instructions (other than mine) is in a sticky at the top of this forum.
They really are a must-do to any LS1 f-body. ~Joshua

Then what is the real advantage to anyone buying your kit instead of going to Lowes, Home Depot or any other hardware store and getting everything themself?

Ace Hardware stores have a nice selection of polished metric bolts.

1) He's a stand up guy from all i've seen.
2) Everything comes in one kit, pretty convienient if you ask me.
3) You are supporting a sponsor of this website. You did know there is a fee to be a sponsor, right?
4) He includes a nice write-up.
5) I would rather pay him a little more and know that I am getting the right products.
6) HOW COULD YOU NOT BUY STUFF FROM HIM AFTER LOOKING AT THAT ENGINE?

P.S. Josh, when are you going to leak some pics of the turbo buildup?

1) No comment necessary here.
2) I did mine by spending $13 instead of $50.
3) I am not supporting him at all, and yes I know there is a fee, I don't care though.
4) A write up is in the appearance HOF.
5) Search feature and confidence.
6) Again, no comment necessary here.

Wasn't even picking on the guy, it was an honest, very LEGITIMATE business question to begin with. To be in business for yourself, you better be prepared to answer questions like I posed earlier if you want to sell yourself or your product on them.

seriously... negative bullshit is.... just that.





If you want to de-clutter your engine bay on the cheap, strip the factory loom and electrical tape and re-wrap into thinner bundles. The injector harness runs on both sides of the fuel rail. After you're done you can zip-tie them under the fuel rails. Almost hidden.
