You won't find any better service for a wiring harness than from T1, as far as known operating businesses are concerned.

I have never seen a custom built wiring harness that was alike to another.

If someone actually priced out the materials and then had to do it themselves so they could see the hours involved, they would appreciate the price! $4k is actually very fair for the quality you are receiving, that harness will last a lot longer than most other parts of the car as well.

This is the way I was looking at it. This is the LAST engine harness I will ever buy. Same with the ECU. The M800 is way more than I will ever need!

Looking for a harness with every I/O, datalogging feature the aem has to offer. I've done the car harness.

understatement of the year ! the materials alone are probably more than 2/3 the total cost

lol....you guys buy your materials at the wrong place if you are paying more than 1/2 in materials....

Not going to argue about the time involved, when doing it correctly with the right products, it is very time consuming.

Our 1 piece M800 harness has just over $1000 in materials, FWIW.

You do look better in a 3 piece, just tack on another few hundred bucks.

buying raychem, connectors, pins, tefzel wire (misc sizes + colors) relays, ecu conectors, boots, glue shrink, etc all for a hair over a g? sounds way to cheap to me ?

I have wired a few(+) cars in the 1000 whp range and I can tell you a properly made harness will save you money in the end. Getting on the dyno and having interference and breaking up will take you much longer than tuning a car with clean signal. Your tuner will love you. Bisi calls me just to thank me when he has a short sweet tuning sesion when tuning on my harnesses (BTW, I do make my harnesses much different when I know the setup is extreme).
Dont forget about the time and issues it can save you at the track, nobody wants to be under the dash messing with wires in a hot day when there is 15 minutes left until the race. Just sayin

I think the difference is that when you're doing it yourself, you have to buy extra of everything. When your harness builder stocks materials, you only pay for what goes on your harness. Anyone who's tried to plan out a harness and order parts only for it knows that you'll either have a TON of **** leftover, or you'll order parts 5 different times, and only have a little left over. In any sense, doing it yourself you'll definitely spend over 1k in materials.

I can atest to what Ryan is saying! I have seen people come in trying to make power only to be foiled by interference or loss in translation! Its said to see someone coming in so hopeful to being heart broken over something simple like that!

Its like we say around the shop, "begin with the end in mind and do it right the first time"
