Wow.

I'm not at the point in my conversion where I need a harness yet so I haven't bought anything. Hopefully the guy who made that video will have tested it by then.

I know a lot of work goes into modifying a harness. That being said, as it stands, a lot of the harnesses on the the market look severely overpriced. I don't see anything negative about this harness except that it is manufactured in China. We will see.

Based on perceived quality of the harness. For the price quoted, don't expect much...

So not on real facts lol I paid $329 for my Holley EFI main harness, It's almost as complete as an LS1 harness and you have to figure Holley is taking a cut and so is the dealer who made the sale for them. Holley probably pays well less than half that for them and they are well built and probably not made in the USA either.

You can still have quality with a lower price if you can have them made overseas and cut out the middle man and you don't have the overhead that a big company like Holley has.
I haven't worked retail but used to help someone with a store, His prices were marked up 30%-70% over wholesale costs and still cheaper than most of his competition.
