You can get it at Summit. It's under Painless Performance Powerbraid. I think there's a kit for EFI motors, but I don't know if it's LS specific. Summit might have their own line of the stuff too.

Techflex looks to be similar stuff.
How much of your loom did you do and how much of the sleeving did you need to do it?

That looks incredible.

Don't use someone else's measurements, you never know exactly what they wrapped and if you personally would like to go further, or if you would like to do less. Don't set yourself up for failure in finding you don't have enough or you have way more than you need.

Get a cloth measuring tape (the kind used when measuring fabrics), and go out to your car and pop the hood. Look for all of the wiring that stands out to you, that you would like to wrap. Measure the length of each section of wiring and add that up. Different wire bundles may be smaller/bigger than others so you may want to order a couple different sizes of the wrap. So take note of 1) the diameter of the wire bundles you want to wrap, and 2) the length of each of those sections.

Take your time, measure it all out, and buy what you need as well as an extra few feet or so just to have a little extra on hand should you need it for any reason.

Thanks! And if wasn't for these guys below I was going to tell exactly how much I used.....

If you have the harness in hand like I did, it was pretty easy. I used 3 different sizes in 10-15' lengths. When I ran out....ordered more.

I actually didn't think of using the cloth measuring tape. I knew I couldn't use his exact measurements, instead I was just looking to get an idea of how much he used to see if this is something I could slide into the winter budget. I plan to have the engine out to clean and fix a few things so it would be much easier to do then.

I always assumed that kind of loom was pretty expensive but after seeing it, its really not too bad.
