The hot wire harness is also plug-n-play, with NO cutting/soldering/rewiring of the OE wiring system on the car.

Shop here, or at any of several Racetronix distributors like Texas Speed, Lingenfelter or Tick Perfomance. You want the RFPK-007 kit:

Note: If you're going much higher HP, I recommend contacting Lonnie's Performance for one of his dual, in-tank pumps.

At the level we're running that would be asking for trouble to keep the stocker.

Btw, I ran the harness through the rocker panel to the front. You may have to make a slight modification to the rubber insulator boot on the alternator since there will now be two cables going attaching to the stud.
