Ill start by showing you all the crap thats in there

everywire in the car is going to be gutted will be going to a race pak dash as well so this will be a totally rewired car gonna be a long process to wire everything but it will be neat and easy to rule out a wire incase of a short.

Should be fairly easy, hot wires to interior lights and door locks, the fast system has the engine harness and injector harness already made, and it plugs into the box, the data logger plugs into the box and feeds off the fast, ground the fast and power wire to it, head light harness stays, interior lights need a ground and hot, gauges need ground and hot, fuel pump will run off of the fast so hot and ground, trans brake is hot and ground to switch. fairly simple dont have any of that iac and tps crap
