Honestly it's the only place available to me that even has the room. My original plan was to come in directly over the transmission tunnel, but as it would be too much work to pull the entire dash outside, I decided to go through the former speedo cable hole. I'll be enlarging it and mounting the cannon plug there.
I prefer this side as opposed to the stock location because it puts it far from the exhaust and the high tension leads aren't going to play an issue. So that eliminates two potential problems. I'm planning on wrapping the engine compartment portion of the harness in heat shrink as well as heat repulsive wrapping (fiber glass and aluminum shell) should make short work of any other ambient heat.
If you have another location that might work better, I'm open to it.
