Anyone use an ISIS wire harness?
Well, believe it or not, I'm FINALLY ready to wire the car. I have a Painless street rod wire harness (and a speartech engine harness and computer), but just read about the new ISIS controller style harness in the new Hot Rod. Anyone ever wire a car with one of these? Does it really save 20-30 hours of time?

Looks like a good idea (saw the same article and a show did an install a few months back on tv). Not sure if it is worth the investment though.

I guess it depends on what time is worth. With a 9mo. old at home and the next one due in 4 months I only get to work on the car about an hour a night- so saving 20+ hours would save me almost a month.

Hmmmm...
For those who don't know, this is what we are talking about: http://www.isispower.com/products.ht...ctID=ISIS3BOXZ
I heard about this a long time ago and I guess some (or possibly all) the OEM's are going to similar technology. It looks cool but like LS1Nova, I'm a little concerned about durability. Only because and as far as I am aware there is one company making it and the product doesn't have a lot of street time on it. Great concept but time is money and for my money which I have way less than I have time, I'll go the old fashioned way - for now. Drop the price to a competitive point and I'll have to look further.
As far as saving 20 hours... If you are completely wiring a custom car no one makes a harness for from front to back I could see that. The problem with their theory is you have a complete new system / technology to learn which you may spend that "saved" 20 hours figuring out! hahaha
On a positive note, just think how cool it would be to only add a relay to the existing power buss to run the fuel pump in a 60's or 70's car for a Gen III / IV swap.

yes, I have been busy other places- you can always tell when our cable TV went out- 9 mos before the due date!
I think I'm still gonna give this a try- just looking at the ISIS kit VS my painless harness, you can see that there's a lot less to it and actually sounds simpler to use, route, and troubleshoot. I'll let you guys know.
