Very nice ! How did you hide the wiring crap in the passenger fender ? I have a '94 Formula and want to do that, too, but don't see a hole from the fender to the PCM. Did you make an opening yourself, or is that different on Camaros ?
Thx,
Pete

I made a hole where you cannot see anything. I then re-routed everything beneath inside of the inner fender. I took out the main engine/lighting harness out and made a hole, then routed it through the inner fender on the other side. That was a much bigger PITA. Wanted to clean up that mess they call wiring.

Thanks, I'll definitely give the passenger side a try.

BTW, any plans for the labor day weekend ?

You can do the wire relocate mod without cutting/splicing all those wires. You just have to make a bigger hole and put it in a slightly different location.

Then, you just unhook the connections, slide them through the hole, and reconnect under the fender.

I can't remember who it was on LS1.com that did it this way

Driver's side required splicing 1 million wires, needed an additional 8 inches of length. I took it out of the engine compartment and ran it underneath the fenderwell. I can't believe how many wires there are under there Jeesh!

For some reason, we didn't get the banners updated yet. If you read the texts, it's all been been updated with the correct date (and year).

So, yes, it's 2003 !

OOH PURTY! Those are some nice bays. I think I'm kinda going for something like steve rupps engine bay only with a lt1. Instead of red I may do SOM to match the exterior. Waht kind of air filter is that. I have a ws6 but want to get rid of my air box for that filter. Thanks for the responses guys
