Default Painless wiring harness

Anybody running a painless harness for a drag only car? Im looking to do away with all non essential computer functions. So basically I need the engine harness and head and tail lamps and blinkers. Any other info on drag setups would be appreciated as well. Thanks

It not a Painless harness. We just modified our stock harness. You can read the post here

I'm about half way through clipping my stock harness and it's not too bad. Things are actually pretty organized once you get all the harness' apart. I would keep pluggin away at the stock one. You can get the Painless one from Jeg's for $500-600 if you wanted to go that route. I'm not so sure that they come with headlight/tail lamp wiring though.

BTW: I'm not so sure that you can bybass the BCM with the stock harness, I have to look into that some more.

If you notice in the first picture you will see that we did remove the BCM. As you mentioned its fairly easy once you get started. just be sure to take your time and have the service manual.

That's the problem, I don't have a helms manual. I'm stuck with tracing stuff by hand. So the ignition does not run through the BCM at all? What exactly does run through it beside air bags, power windows/locks, and the radio.
