Small Coupe update...
Its pretty darn close.
I dug into wiring in last couple weeks...then went to MidO and I'm back in the game again.
I started out by setting up all the wiring sections close to the sensor they go to...
Intake air temp, throttle body, and coolant temp:

You can see IAT and TB harness here. Also note the big bore throttle body off of OBD1 VR6 motor - that should flow pretty good, for now.

Coolant temp on the back of the head. I've used all new connectors and crimps as opposed to splicing in to old connectors/harness. Much clener and better way to do it. Also, as opposed to meters and meters of heat shrink tubing(heavy/brittle) I used this stuff called tech flex. Its made out of glass fiber weave and it expands as you pull wires through. It keeps them protected but stays flexible. Very very cool, and fairly cheap.

Injector harness - this is separate from everything else. I tried to keep it all modular as opposed to factory style where all harness starts as one big bulk and splits off as it passes the units it goes to. Injectors are 36# for now

And the top view of it all. You can see in the top left a 150amp circuit breaker where my battery power cable comes to and then from there power goes to fuse box and starter.

Coil packs, O2 sensor, AFR gauge and a fan is what's left to do and she will start. I give myself 2-3 days(well, weeknights) for that. It will definetely be ready to rock at Blackhawk so all of you who want to see it - Sign up! hehe.
