    Is it easier to run my amp wires through passenger firewall to the trunk?

    I had no problem going through the rubber grommet. A much better way of doing it and it hides the wires nice.

    I have four 0 ga. going through the rubber grommet on the passenger side. I wish I would have run them under the car like alot of peeps do. When it came time to run my mids, I had a hard time trying not to cross the power wires.

    4 gauge quality wire was cake through the rubber electrical boot on the passenger side. Cake.

    MSD coils, if you want misfires at high rpm within a year of buying them, that's what you get. Stock is cheaper and over time better. The wires should be fine.

    Thanks for info on Msd coils. Reason why i ask, is i have 04 gt2 new plugg wires, and coils. I have cleaned my throttle body and mass air flo sensor. And still can only get 30 mpg on highway. Also have used Lucas fuel injector cleaner. Any body have the same problem and is there any solutions?

    Considering the relative lack of technology with our engines, 30 mpg is quite respectable. That's good highway mileage. In fact, these engines are mentioned on a lot of fuel mileage forums (hypermilers).
