Fuel pumps run better, water pumps etc. Bulbs don't last as long but are brighter so oh well lol. I just started looking into batteries and having my alternator converted over and I figured I'd see if you had done it already. Is the Racewire harness for the interior or what is it for? You have a PSI harness also don't you?
Yes I do have a PSI harness for the engine and PCM. The Racewire will be for everything else, headlights, taillights, turn signals, EWP, fuel pump and power windows, he is building me a complete wiring harness with a 10-11 roll cage mount switch panel.

That sounds like the way to go. I might have to give them a call. I was going to try and make my own. Do they incorporate your gauges too?

Yea definitely give him a call, he is worth the wait. Yes he can incorporate whatever gauges you use.

Finally got my harness done and he will be shipping it out tomorrow morning. The wait sucked but from the quality in the pics it was well worth it. If all goes well and I get it this week I should have the car up and running this weekend.

He does great work. I like the setup, I just didn't want to spend that coin. I went with the ARC 8000 panel and an old painless wiring setup that I found for $100 and wired everything myself.

I've tried but not real hard. I'm sure the guy is busy and I didn't want to bother him with questions and not buy anything from him. Know what I mean?

Finally got a chance to sit down and post that I have her running again.
Took me two days to do the full rewire, tuned out awesome.
Will be getting a retune on June 11th from James Short@Shortuning

Newest update

I finally made my first good pass of a 5.9x with the F1C at around 17lbs but decided to go ahead and upgrade to the F1X. Gives me alot more room to grow.
I plan on spinning the X to only 20lbs of boost for now until I get a newer bigger LSX block. So I am hoping to stay around the 8 second range for now.

This one is about 3-4"s wide and maybe 3" high. I bet something could be made to make it fit
