He's looking into either a dog box or a sequential now.

Thanks.

Speaking of wiring Ryan Kuhlenbeck and I are on our 4th version of wiring. Ryan is the brains behind the wiring and has it sorted out. We are wiring this whole car from scratch. Wire of spools, no kits. Our own fuse boxes and power distubution system.

We will build the engine harness then dyno with its correct harness.

Holy Crap!

I've often wondered what you do in your 'spare' time, this task pretty much answers that question.

Since Ryan is going to be there awhile... you might as well fly out and help me with that ABS system...

I've done an awful lot of car wiring - building wiring - machine wiring... but no way would I start from scratch like that! WOW.

Yes you would.

With a LS9 and a E67 controller, ABS brakes, Vintage Air, Stereo, Stack Data Logging dash and Vapor Work fuel controller; there is a lot of wiring. It is just easier to do it from scratch. We have ever connecter defined for that pin is what function, color of wire and gauge. We copied a Corvette ZR-1 for wire colors and sizes. We can trouble shoot the system with a GM Tech 2 and the factory wiring manual. Some of the connectors are hard to find but over the last couple years Ryan has found them all. He does like MIL Spec connectors which drive the price up a bit but allows the engine or other harness to be removed from the main body harness.

To get all the wire in the correct gauge and strips Ryan had to order some of it custom. A bit over kill but it is nice to have the OE wire style and color coding.

Oh.... I wasn't saying I "wouldn't start from scratch like that" because I thought it was the wrong thing to do.... I was saying that because even with as much wiring as I've done --- I wouldn't personally have the talent to do this job! It's very impressive - and even more impressive with the amount of electronics - and mixing and matching and communications that are going on.

my new quote. I have always been impressed with the integration your able to achieve especially with the reliability you have. I guess been a GM engineer and refining your builds over the last 15 cars goes along ways towards that, plus working with some of the best guys in the business doesn't hurt either.
