Mangled, I was tbss stock!!! I was lucky. That being said even with a lil port on the inside of the intake and the tb, I had to fine tune the fuel again.

You dick (jkn)lucky you.. None the less that looks good. I would def smooth it out if I were you. Did the harness use to run over top of that one like the nbs trucks, or was it always tucked towards the back some??

On a side note. I might just make a cover for it, that hugs it tight, covers the sensors, all up.. I am thinking stainless, polish it or brush it... Hmm me wheels are turning.....

Cleaning up that harness looks good. Smoothing it out would definitely make it look better. I would definitely do it over making a cover. Tidying up the wiring makes a huge difference in appearance. Smooth it out and color match it

Well there is some downfalls to smoothing it out.. There would be a few things still there, the MAP sensor, 2 vacuum ports.. I think I am leaning towards the cover. I assure you it will be done tastefully.. But I am still not 100% on how I am doing it yet..

the wiring harness part is the easy part. I talked to my head porter and he said he would port mine for $150, I am thinking about buying another one for him to port before the LS1 goes in.

I didnt have to do anything to make the harness move. Just shoved it out of the way.





Looks a lot better than on top.
