hole in fire wall for wires??

i am going to be hooking up a lot of things such as n20, gauges, window switch, timing control, etc. where is the best place to run the wires trough do i need to cut a hole or is there already one somewhere. also i have the whole interior out cause i installed a roll bar. so the seats carpet and plastic panels are out. there are holes in the floor with rubber stoppers can i just use those and runthe wires under the car into the engine compartment??

Yup take a 10mm socket and unbolt the PCM on the passenger side just under the cowl. Wiggle it out of the way, it's kind of a tight fit. Once it's out of the way you'll see a harness that runs through a good size grommet. You can take a razor and cut a small slit in the grommet and run all your wires through. And I mean ALL of them. I've run some crazy sized power wire through there at work Take off the underdash on the passenger side and the kick panel. After you drop the wires through the grommet just reach up behind the glove box and pull through

Definatly agree with everyone else, I currently have a 0 gauge power wire for my amps running through the PCM grommet, if you dont know how thick that is... think heater hose
