Current Performance

Ok so I'm still fairly new here and still picking some brains. I've heard of Current Performance before joining this sight and since then I've learned of Nelson. My question is, which is better or which is prefered? Just curious what the consensus is around here. I'm more interested in customer service after the sale and tech support if needed. Thanks guys

Ive actually never heard of current performance, looks like they specialize in wiring harnesses.

i guess you gotta go by price/customer service....or you can just got NP bc i have their harness and its AWSOME!!!! easy as pie to hook up, and it looks a ton better than a factory harness

same here NP reworked a harness for me, they do quality work.

yeah if you have your own harness it's like 450 or so..i cant remember

sent an email to NP today from work. was too busy to call.

Defineately go with Nelson. Current Performance, in my experience, was impossible to even comunicate with. Forget them, go with Nelson.

Sent email to NP a few days ago and got a generic reply. I replied back w/specific details and no answer. Been over 2 days now. I'm at work during the day and cant make the calls out to inquire. Gotta say at least I like how CP puts it all on their website.

Go with the nelson..its worth the wait....they are the best for a reason i dont think u would have 4 different people telling u to do something that wasnt the right way to go...:twocents:

Hey Overhead,

Nelson Performance is a business like any other you deal with. They are not a 1-800 tech support for window shoppers. Their techs and staff have a steady business of conversion vehicles and harness conversions shipped to them. They can only do so much in a day... and then after a full day of work, Allen is on-line answering e-mails. Their work is excellent and their product turnaround time is impressive. Waiting for an e- mail reply for 5-7 days is not uncommon with any business that does this type of work.

This conversion you are attempting is as much of an art as it is a science... and quality work takes time. I have spent hours reading every post in the LSX Truck Conversion forum. My suggestion is start your own document and list everything that will need to be converted and start cutting and pasting everything you see that applies to that subject

My list was 5 pages long. I don't know you mechanical skills but this is a lengthy process. The difficult stuff can be done by someone like Nelson, but there is a lot that you will need to do on your own. Years ago, some guy figured out how to convert these engines into older vehicles and he charged 23k for the job. Luckliy, we can all do it a lot cheaper today because of businesses like Nelson. I gladly paid him to modify my harness and re-tune my PCU. The rest is up to me. Everyone who post their progress with pictures and videos makes the project look simple. You just need to spend ample time planning out your work.

When you know 90% of what needs to be done, how to do it, and how much it will cost... you will be in better shape to start tackling the Fuel Pump conversion, fuel line conversion, fuel pump wiring conversion, fuel filter / regulator conversion, accelerator pedal conversion to DBW pedal, a/c compressor / compressor hose conversion, cooling fan shroud conversion,battery tray conversion, air filter assemply and intake tube conversion, Oil pressure sending unit conversion, temperature sending unit conversion, motor mount conversion, Tq converter to flex plate conversion, transmission cooling line conversion, exhaust O2 sensor conversion, radiator hose conversion, etc, etc.

My point is there is a lot of homework involved. Read the stickies for part numbers that apply to your swap and take it slow. You can't rush this project, remember, when it comes to paying someone to do this type of work...
You can have it fast and cheap, but it ain't good.
You can have it fast and good, but it ain't cheap.
You can have it good and cheap, but it aint fast.

Luckily, for everyone involved in this hobby, Nelson Performance is as good as it gets and their pricing is very reasonable.

Good luck- in over your head-
