Have you personally done it on a C7? I tried going that route but I didn’t see how it was possible with the tunnel insulation, torque tube, and headers in the way. I went through the drivers firewall by the windshield fluid tank like Ant did.

If you look at Ants HOWTO on Meth kit installation, you can see how he ran all the wiring into cabin and provider power to it etc... I have done it the same way for my Meth and i ran all the wideband stuff right next to it.. and location of my wideband is in driver side header. My wideband Innovate controller is right under dash by OBD-2 connector... This way when i plug in my hptuners into obd-2 my plug for wideband is also there.
I hope that makes sense.
Here is HOWTO i am talking about

Finally got it and will start working on this by this weekend. Is there an entry grommet there or is that where I would have to drill? Also do you know if there is an ignition power under the dash, or a 12v source? I can always put a toggle switch in. Trying to avoid going all they way to the rear because its already crowded due to me adding aftermarket amps/controllers.

Do I have to do anything like removing the fender barriers or remove the coolant/oil reservoir? I have a dry sump. All i can really see in that area is the cabin filter.

I would suggest against toggle switch for wideband. You will forget to turn it on or off from time to time.. and wideband sensors don't like to be turned off if the car is running.. i believe it damages the sensors it self. check your manufactures installation manual, they usually call it out..

I removed the windshield fluid tank and unbolted the bottom of the fender and pulled the fender out. Drilled a hole next to the grommet. Easy and had plenty of room for wideband and Allky vacuum tube.

Just use a putty knife to trim the rubber some use to long rope if you need to run multiple lines. If the rubber grommet comes out use a deep socket to pull in back in place if you can't by hand. For power run to the back of the car fuse box location, and use a fuse jumper cable. @FYREANT do you remember the fuse number?
