so i decided the way i had the harness just wasnt gonna cut it. the massive fuse box was in the engine bay i just did a wire tuck and shave on. it was an eye sore i had to do something about.



here you can see the harness and fuse box on the left...









a better veiw of it looking like crap..







now its gone.. out of sight







much better look, only wires seen are spark plug wires.







ran the harness down by the steering shaft




i didnt get any new pics today but i found a place for the PCM and wired in the obd2 port. after a few minutes of having obd communication issues. (wire crimp connector) not completing the circut. fixed that and everything functions as far as the code scanner can tell me. tps, iat, coolant temp, o2 sensors. goood to go!

Are you guys just going to Haller's to dyno? It's nice to have a dyno in Cheyenne now. I put down 537 rwhp on 14 psi with only 15 degrees timing, I've been told lt1's at 14 psi or so will take 26 degrees. Need to do some tuning.

im not sure where gregrob is going to dyno, you should come down after the 5th and hangout, we will be swapping heads/cam on gregrobs 99 z28, maby soon enough youll see his nitrous lt1 z28. id like to see your car, im a big fan of lt1's especially turbo.

do you tune your own pcm?

It isn't licenced right now. I kinda ran out of money, you can tell by looking at my sig. I think the pickup needs to go, then I would have money to start putting a lsx into my 84 grand prix. You guys could come to Pine. Lots of open back roads out by my parents farm.

Your moving right along! The wiring is what is going to be the hardest part for me if i ever get started on my grand prix.

Oh and Ill drive the car around Pine, just wouldn't want to risk taking it to Cheyenne. Do you guys ride dirtbikes at all? I have a my own motocross track and a 8 1/2 foot tall freestyle ramp on a chunk of pasture my dad gave me.

id like to see that swap once you get it started, if you need help just hit one of us up, we dont live far away lol.

i am a huge motocross fan! i had to retire from racing due to a back injury several years ago, i used to race the ama novice class back when 2 strokes still ruled. in the 250/450 division. been to a few legendary california tracks and endurance races in the mojave desert. i still dabble in the sport though, i love motocross. you do freestyle? ballzyy bro! thats how i got injured lol what do you ride?

I've got a yamaha 250F. Used to have a yz250, but I rode a friends 4 stoke and I was hooked. I attemp to do freestyle, but I suck lol. I raced once in cheyenne and got in a big pile up in the first corner. By the time other people got there bikes off of mine and I got it started again I was in dead last. I managed to catch up to 14th and then my shoulder came out, 1/2 lap from the finish. That has lead to multiple shoulder dislocations on both shoulders, so I only ride for fun now.
