theres a grommet for the PCM- already in place- its what write ups use for shift lights- id stick with that
+1 for inside too, my friend wanted to run RCA cable for his subs outside the car- i almost hit him for even mentioning it

Under car through sub frame connectors
Well I asked for peoples opinions of the best way to route the 0 ga wire inside or out. The majority said inside behind the computer. I guess I'm thick headed but didn't like the idea of routing that thick cable behind the PCM and down the carpet.
So I ran it down and through the middle of my welded in Sub frame connectors. I found this totally awesome spot to drill and come up in to the car. The wire is tucked up and is never the lowest item. In fact I really only have about 3 total feet exposed. I also have it tucked behind factory heat shields and covered it with heat reflecting tape and a fire blanket material near the exhaust. Take a look

BRD-Prey- you do have a valid point but being its a 0g or 1g wire the coating is pretty thick. I don't think there would be any problems with it.
I would wire it along the sides rather than under the carpet near the tunnel. IMO it'd be easier to pull out if ever need to.
I have 1 wire running along the drivers side and my alt wire running down the pass side.

We use a bulkhead pass-through at the firewall, that way we have an access point for other electronics like the MSD and such. And also makes for a cleaner install.

Yeah thanks Lone Warrior I was hoping someone would recommend this. I'v done two relocates and both used the firewall pass thru setup. It make it much cleaner and safer. Sorry no pics of the firewall when done but there is a few choices all on summit like this http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
