I'm going with RAAMMAT and Ensolite, from Rick of RAAMAudio over on the other forum. He's got a great reputation and really knows his stuff. I had the crazycowboy kit in the red car, and I wasn't all that impressed by it. Maybe my expectations were too high, given that it's just foil-backed bubble wrap

I think I set it for 6600 when I installed it in the red car.

Was that connector provided with the kit? What color light did you go with?

That connector is taped to your main wiring harness near the brake booster. I'm not sure of it's purpose, since it's a dead-end.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't remember if I ordered red or amber, it's been so long since I've seen it in use

LOL well its not like you have ANYTHING else on your mind Andrew. Im impressed its looking great!!!

VetteMed · 02-26-2011

I couldn't stand the suspense, I had to go plug the headunit in to see what it looked like when illuminated. The unit is an Alpine CDA-W925EHI. It's an asian and australian unit, I got it from Malaysia. I wanted something that looked like it belongs in the car. I like the DVD units but I don't like touchscreens. SO we'll see how this goes.

Amber double DIN you cant go wrong.

That connector that is taped to the harness is the test port for the DIS system. That is the back probe point and the place where the adapter from a TECH 1A plugs into to run ignition simulations & read system performance and check for grounded & or open circuits. Of course that software is optional & hard to find.

I would like to thank you very much for taking the time to post up the heater core r&r.

......

I keep dreaming that I will never have to do this job.....

GOLDCYLON · 02-28-2011

Ordered my New two stage Raptor light in Amber. Im stealing your install suggestion Andrew lol.
This is going to be installed by the ZFDOC which I think is the best person I can think of to detrmine the shift points. I have ask him to record the shift points so I can pass them on to the community. Car is already over there while in LA for the RH tensioner upgrade.

I bought a new connector for this and pinned the Raptor wires to it. That way I can plug and unplug the shift light anytime I want. I also ground it using the MAP sensor plenum bolt.
