It takes about 3-4 hours to do. There are 3 coil plugs and 6 injector plugs and cam advance, intake resonance, clt, crank and cam sensor. That is about 28 wires. But honestly it is cheaper to have someone else do it for you sometimes because they buy the wire in bulk. Connectors in bulk etc. Huge price savings in connectors in bulk. I just bought some for instance for my trans brake kit that I could buy around 500 for less than 10. Not less per but actually less than.

Whether to go PCS or OE only becomes and issue if the user decides to go OE on the main computers. Once you bite that bullet the two of them become viable options and if you happen to have a donor car with the right gear ratio (I did not) the OE is more than likely the easier and less expensive solution. at that point it comes down to either purchasing or making wheel speed sensor mounts and tone rings and plugging them in or purchasing a PCS unit, an MB trans wire harness, a 722.6 shifter and making some other wiring and you still need wheel speed from something.
If you do not go OE then the aftermarket transmission controllers are the only realistic solution.
