Here is some quick pictures, I have a lot more, but sorry don't have time to upload right now.

Fuel pressure guage sitting on top of the motor in this pic.


Entire wiring harness is in the car in this picture believe it or not




Coil relocated to hide it better


Intake modified, NO vacuum fittings on the side other than the brake booster one, also map sensor relocated to the rear.


Custom harness setup with the wiring tucked under the fuel rails, this came out as a very clean setup.


Sorry I didn't get more pictures up, I mounted the pcm under the dash, ran the wires through a hole directly behind the motor. We also filled all the holes in the engine bay, plated and filled the big hole where a CAI would normall run, stood the radiator up(for a cleaner look) with slim fans, and much much much more.

Skinnies: that looks great! So you filled in all the vacuum lines on the side and relocated them to the rear? Did you have to lengthen all the wires to get the pcm under the dash?

Racin 96ss: where did you move the fuse box to?

My fuse box was relocated underneath, the entire harness on that side was underneath, major pain in the ***.

Yes a lot of wires were made longer, basically made a full custom harness to make it work. Yes all vacuum lines were on the back of the intake, not the side. Also I relocated the return coolant line from the back of the heads to under the dash(custom made heater setup), back in the inner fender and to the front of the radiator where we welded a fitting so you couldn't see any of it.

Skinnies, what kind of black paint did you use to paint your intake? Is that a stock style FPR?

What are you driving these days?

I don't remember the exact paint we used, it wasn't anything super special though. the FPR is a borg warner adjustable one from Oreilly auto parts that worked great.

I'm now driving a 2008 Trailblazer ss, went 12.34 at 108.2 with a best of a 1.62 60ft, with ONLY BOLT ONS. I missed the bolt on record by .005, but I did run my times in positive DA vs the negative DA the guy who has the record ran his times in. I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve so it should go 12.0's with bolt ons at 110+ mph.
