Default Wire clean up suggestions with relocated coils?

After about two hours of screwing around with zip ties and tape, I have declared defeat in cleaning up the injector and coil pack wires. Looking for tips / ideas. Seems like there is no elegant way to rout and secure this wire orgy around OEM fuel rails, Fast intake and relocated coil packs. The passenger side a bit easier without having to contend with the fuel line, but not much easier. Figured I’d just bite the bullet and get some billet rails, but then started reading all kinds of reports of fuel leaks with the various billet rails. Not real sure what to do, other than just live with this mess of wires and zip ties.

Pics with solutions would be helpful. I'm starting to tire of this never ending money pit. Seems like every thing I do that departs from OEM ends up with a new thing needing to be done that ends up with another Benjamin Franklin or two....

Have you separated the coil harness from the injector looms?

Custom valve covers hiding everything....and they're for sale.

Otherwise, just go with the Katech valve covers, coil relocation, and I think it will look good.

Yes I have. Only thing I have not done, is strip all the electrical tape off the wires to each pack / injector.

Looks good. I already have valve covers though.

Im in the process of moving mine now. Me and a buddy made some brackets to hold the coils and put them in the fender well.


Still have some wiring to do but it will look good when it's done.
