Default Racetronix install

first off, its a pain in the ***. everything was fine till I had to slide the fuel pump tube to the line: waaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too small. and now I'm going crazy putting it back in.

plus there is no instruction for the hotwire kit.

worst job on my car ever. installing my n2o kit was a joke compare to this crap.

If you lay the harness out under the car it will become real clear what goes where. I freaked out when I went to install mine but once I laid it out and visualized where it all went it was a cake walk.

I agree... they should offer a schematic of some sort. Good luck.

WOW! This was the best and easiest kit that I have ever installed and I just did it last week!

Run the hot wire kit along the fuel lines all the way to the alternator. Its as simple as that!

You can't and will not find a more thought out and complete kit as this one.
