Default Racetronix Hotwire Routing?

I'm certain a bunch of people have installed this in their car, so my question is - How did you route it? I have twin 340 LPH pumps on a stock hanger, and I plan to have my factory ECM control one and have the other controlled by my Terminator X. I'm doing a piggyback setup, so the factory hole in the firewall is a no-go for routing another wire harness through it. I already have to enlarge it for what I'm doing. There's zero room to add another hole in that area, but I've gotta run wires directly to the alternator somehow. Any ideas?

Basically just followed the instructions that came with my wire harness. It piggy backs of the the keyed power source to the fuel pump and the hot wire runs along the fuel line up to the engine bay where it connects to the alternator or the battery power post at the fuse block. I can send you some pictures if you like.

So it runs under the car? Not through the interior? Pics would be great.
