Can you guys give me some recommendations for a new harness? I have champagne taste on a beer budget. Lol

BP Automotive does nice work, and they'll rework your harness for $250ish

RiverRat70 · 02-04-2015, 01:13 AM

Well im torn between buying a new harness or having mine reworked. I got my new speedway catalog and I can get there brand or a painless brand for about 650

Have you looked into Howell Engine Development, I found mine to be a "plug and play"

RiverRat70 · 02-05-2015, 12:10 PM

No I haven't. How much was yours?

solidaxel · 02-05-2015, 01:11 PM

They have many items and a one stop shopping so I 'bought the farm" but everything worked, I don't remember what the individual price was

RiverRat70 · 02-05-2015, 01:59 PM

O ok. Im on kind of a tight budget. I just looked at that web site and it was about the same as most others price wise

LS Performance wiring in Texas, i paid about $400 for a new harness, not reworked. Hes on facebook, probably the best looking harnesses ive seen for standalone.

Another question for you guys. What all can I delete from this engine and still have it run as good or better than factory? EGR, 02 SENSORS, and so on? Thanks for all the input you guys have been giving.

Depends on what your goal is, and who your tuner is.

Most people ditch; EGR, EVAP, rear 02 as a starting point.

I switched to SD which ditches the MAF also.

I just wanna clean it up a bit and simplify it.
