Race wiring the drag car! Painless???
I have an 1994 LT1 camaro, it is basically a drag/sometimes street car. Its a build 355 with big heads and cam, accel dfi stand alone. I have no air bags in the car, hvac, abs, emissions, etc. I want to rewire the whole car and make it look real clean. All I want to work is the radio, doors, head lights, etc. I also have all aftermarket gauges and have no more dash cluster, alarm, etc.. I was wondering if any have gotta a painless harness to run in there car. Or a kit that will be universal. I just want to clean this car up and do it right!
Thanks Mark Tisdale

I'm doing something similar. I want a race car with as little wiring as possible. Basically I stipped the entire car down and started wire by wire and cut them out if I didnt need it.
I am just about done but i have to put an engine back in the car to make sure all of my work was done right.
I eliminated the hvac, radio, air bags, abs, lighting, pdl, power trunk, wipers, and basically anything that doesnt help the car go straight including the BCM. I then went to each connector and started going backwards. checking each wire against my factory service manual to see what it was for. Cut it out of the car. I might have a few issues from deleting the BCM but I think I can fix them without too much trouble. I'm still keeping exterior lights.
If I had an aftermarket ECU I definately would have ripped out everything and bought a basic painless harness that had enough circuits for what I wanted and started that way. It would be much easier....

if you have an accel DFI kit that should take care of everything to run the motor, its a very clean set up the way it comes. you just splice the rest of the stuff to work, if you have diffrent gauges theres not much left to splice into the old harness.

I already have the dfi installed, I just wanted to clean up all the crap wring that I will never use again...
