cost? hard to say, but it is labor intensive and not cheap.
how about the amount of time involved?

I love it.

I know you mentioned wanting to do an LS1 induction setup, but what about cutting out that upper radiator support bar and repositioning the radiator like a lot of the FI guys are doing?

Can you show a pic or at least tell us where you mounted all the wires that went to the red junction box?

I would honestly love to be in TX or FL to enjoy the weather. I get sick seeing everyone racing and enjoying their rides year round while we deal with this snow and cold.

if I had to guess at labor hrs involved..ummmmmmm 15ish

The red junction block is basically clipped in upside down in the wheel well. The 2 harnesses we made extensions for to run inside which are the only wires extended with this ECU relocation.

Thats what I thought, Larry. Did you guys do the engine/tune in that car as well? I'll be at the shootout this year, hopefully with your help.

We did the entire build except for the final tune due to software problems. We had Ion come out and tune it at our shop.

keep in touch

these clean engine bays you guys keep doing are awesome! nothing like opening up the engine bay and just having a motor to focus on rather than a million wires.

In an industry where you see a ton of shops burst on the scene, make some noise, then quickly fade out due to poor business practices, bs, hackjobs, etc...You guys continue to produce quality results!
