I just don't wanna extend the four wires a lot and then have it lose strength, working ability etc.

switch to a lower gauge with less resistance per foot. i think it will be fine. racers mount them inside around the dash area all the time.

No, you can't. There's a reason it's finned- so that it sheds heat. If you shove it somewhere that is insulated it may heat up and pop the internal fuse.
You can mount it in the passenger compartment but that's not optimal. Just like gen I people who mount their coils sideways. Does it work? Yes, but it may have a shorter life.
But to answer the question, you can extend the wires if you use a quality auto wire of a proper gauge. I think 10-12 is what you should use.

Ok. It will probably be fine anyway. Just make sure you can get at the rev limiter pills easily.

Even better, if somebody else has to drive your car, you can throw in the 4000 pill and be good to go.
