Anybody that is in need of harness work shoot him a PM!

it seems like the only harness options out there are
ones like mine that have issues and need to be fixed or the companies that do really good work want your first born child...

That is why Merv is cool as he does good work and is reasonably priced!!

Thanks buddy!! I don't drive it much just because I use my truck mostly since I have to commute...but on the weekend and such I cruise the car sometimes... But you are right the LQ9 will be extremely street able and if I had a 6spd car wouldn't mind using it for daily use...

Thenks guys..I'm hoping it'll fire off on the first hit, it checked out when I tested all the wires.

I've been driving mine around for the past couple days..x2 on the T56 helping..that TH350 will eat up some gas..

Well it seems that everything is in order now (good job on the harness Merv), hopefully the car gods bless your garage and you have the car revving out on the rollers this weekend!

Yep it is ready to go... as soon as the usps man drops the box off I will throw it on and finally fire this thing off....

I have said quite a few prayers...lol so Maybe this motor will run like it is suppose too!!!

I am hoping to have some numbers on Saturday!

Its really your fault though. That was the money I was gonna use for my Turbo setup LOL. The darkside took over. Oh well ill just drop my lt1 in the 86 notchback.

I hope an LS makes me smile like the lt1. My lt1 has been so loyal to me and I'm about to cheat on her.
