This is a lot tougher than my old Jeep haha

I am In Orem/Provo. No I didnt have to Drill but I did have to make a hole in one of the rubber things in the Firewall. I had to pull it out and make a whole in it. It already had some Wires going through it and I made another hole so it would also fit through. The one in the Wheel well was the easiest one to get out and get to at the time.

Cool well hopefully we will see you out there tho are you going to watch the Drags at all after? I know that the MX track isnt open that late and how old is your son? What Size and class MX does he compete in? I am actually looking at getting a Bike again Haven't done that since I was like 14 years old lol I bet I suck now

haha I have done that before but I think he wants something a bit more permanent and also the size of wire he is using is pretty big to just be going in the door jam area lol.

So I figured I'd ask my local statesmen I remember reading somewhere that you have to actually cut a hole out of the firewall and run it through that way? Is that truly the only way? My 9500 10" requires a 0gauge wire so it's pretty thick. Also, if you do know of a thread with any info on the subject then by all means link away!
There is a hole with grommit and wires running through the firewall on the passenger's side of the car. It comes into the car above the passenger's footwell. It's way up there so it' sometimes hard to reach if you have big hands. Don't know if there is enough room with the other wires going through to fit a 0 gauge wire but if you can fish it through then you should be able to run the wire right up the passenger's side of the car into the trunk. Then just make sure you run the signal up the driver's side (You probably already knew that but thought I'd throw it in just in case). Good luck. It can be hard to find.

I didnt even think about them having more than 1 dyno in town, makes me wonder if there is any variation from one to the other... from I have read some mustangs read loer than others
It also depends on the settings they put into it. They could've typed in that your Evo weighs 3000 lbs, I'm pretty sure they put that mine weighed 3500 lbs. If I find the dyno graphs later I'll put em up and you can take a look at them. There's a fairly big amount of stuff that can affect dyno pulls. 200-220 was what most of the early Evo VIIIs were doing on Mustangs though.

I've seen a few different Evos heading the opposite way from me on 215.
