What transmission are you running? Probably the cleanest install I've seen nice work.

EDIT: Nevermind about the trans, just saw this:

Awesome! My Hummer H3 SS project is starting. I'm using an LS2 crate motor. Current Performance is doing the wiring and they have been very helpful. Unfortunately, I found out the Hummer is not a clone of the Colorado even though they are built on the same platform. They have many parts that are not the same, and the wiring layout is different. What tranny did you use? I'm using a 4L65e with the stock transfer case.

I talked to jared about the h3 wiring and how all the connectors are different.

Very sweet. Clean. What a sleeper. Chevrolet should put these on the showroom floor. What are your plans for traction?
