Re: Drilling through Fire Wall
Right around the brake booster is the easiest place to reach. Just make sure to reference something from the inside to the outside before drilling.

Re: Drilling through Fire Wall
Being that your battery is on the passenger side (since you have a Camaro), I would check out the area behind the kick panel on that side. I ran mine right next to the antenna grommit, but I don't know if you'll have the same amount of clearance if your antenna is power.

Re: Drilling through Fire Wall
My first question is WHY?!?!! There are lots of spots you can run your cables without drilling holes. Look under the dash pull some of that carpet back and look behind the brake pedal. there wil lbe a gromet right there. take a screw driver POP it out and run ur cables from the battery across under the shrouding covering the rad up to the corner then run it straight up to the hole make sure u seal that hole with something as well. That rubber gromet is to protect the cables and wires from the edges of that hole. HOPE THIS HELPS
