I have a fuel pressure gauge, air/fuel gauge, and a few wires to run for my n20 kit and bottle heater and was wondering where the best place to be to run these through the firewall. More than likely everything will go through the drivers side since thats where the gauges are going. Would it just be better to drill a hole, or is the a good grommet that I'm not seeing that could be put to good use? Thanks.

it sucks (I know) to be on the receiving end

Should be a pretty large grommet that the main engine harness already comes through....the same one that connects to your steering column. That's where all mine are routed.

And thats where they went lol. Man I just don't like this at all. I just keep getting this feeling no matter how I route it or how I try to hide em I won't be satisfied lol. So now basically I got to get a couple of those wires behind my radio, run a couple more to the back for the heater, then everythign else should pretty much be underhood other than connecting to something with igniton on 12v.

i used the steering colmn gromment for my gauge (mechanica) and msd box stuff. i drilled a hole and used a grommet in the pass side for the nitrous feed line. then went behind the inner fender and out the shock tower.

If you are running a fuel pressure gauge inside the car, I hope you are running an isolator, and not actually running the fuel inside of the car?

Everything electronic. No fuel will be inside the cabin.

I went to lowes and got a 1 1/4 inch metal cutting bit and drilled a hole about 3 inches up and 3 inches to the right of the steering column thew a grommet on there and it works great, looks great.
