those who moved there battery
I have been searching for a kit to buy. the search is all jacked up, I did a search for "battery relocation kit" fiert thing to come up was about some crazy bitch poking holes in condoms.
anyways I called a shop in town and the wiring guy there tells me I have to run a line from the battery (-) to the engine. all the kits I have found seem to only have a 3ft line off the battery for the (-). do I really need to run it to the engine.
I saw a kit a on burkharts sight but there is no price,nothing to link to more info on whats in the kit.
looking for something in the 200 ballpark, with a plastic tray ect....
tried calling burkhart and it said number was disconnected, no answer at at epp either. I hate wiring at all that jazz. just want somthing I can "bolt" up.
any help is great.

I used this bracket with a relocation kit from summit has all the wire and stuff. You could just buy wire probably cheaper. You just ground it to the trunk area.

I'm in the process of doing this right now. Do you want to do it or do it right? There's a big difference between doing it and being legal at the track. I went with a summit box, 1/0 power wire, kill switch, 2 gauge to the alternator, 200amp circut breaker, brass buss bars for up front connections and terminals. I'm probably just under $300 total plus a $100 battery but it should work and be legal. I'm just planning on grounding it at the back somewhere. I'm sure the whole way to the engine would be ideal but alot are getting away without doing that.

also remember you need to run an alternator feed wire all the way back to the kill switch too in order to kill the car when its running.
ground wire can be connected in the back...
