Battery relocation...

Yesterday a friend and I installed a Taylor battery relocation kit. http://store.summitracing.com/defau...earchinresults=false&N=0&target=egnsearch.asp It took 3-4 hours, but it was well worth it IMO. It started out as I needed a new battery, the stocker was barely turning the car over. So I said screw it and thought it would be benificial for wieght transfer, and a certain cool factor, to trunk mount it. I also didn't want to spend big bucks on an Optima battery so I bought the biggest Wally Mart battery that would fit. Its the type that goes under the rear seat of certain cars. I did hook up the vents and route them to the outside to be safe. Well I'm not sure if it helped me last night at the track but I did pull three 2.0 short times on street tires. I also ran a tenth faster than I ever have before. It was below 50 degrees, but I would still like to think the extra weight in the trunk helped. Here's a few pics of the install, forgive me for the car being a bit dirty.

I see you got a Never Start battery. But do you have a kill switch mounted on the outside of the rear of the car. I have the exact same box mounted in the bed of my truck and NHRA rules say you must have a battery kill switch mounted in easy access at the rear of the vehicle. The bugged me about it and hassled me about it til i finally hooked it up. Plus hope you dont have charging issues. As long as you got good cable and what not you should be ok but you better hope your alternator is up to the task of pushing the juice back that far.
