Drag Racing Tech - catchcan and battery relocation ?

well my dynabatt took a crap, or a swell i should say, didnt seem like it was holding much of a charge so i put the batt charger on it and WOW, it got BIG, haha. anyway, im not gunna buy another dynabat, ima take this opportunity to relocate my battery to the ttop well and put in a optima with a kill switch. ima need the extra weight out back if i have to run a smaller tire anyway can someone give me a list of all the stuff i need to do this, i know i want welding lead and i need a kill switch but what else?

also, since the bat is goin, i figure ill ditch the big overflow below it and put me a small cylinder catch can in the car, get me a 16" puller fan to save weight over the stockers and get rid of the abs block.

what catchcan you people using, just a lil cheap summit one?

I am in the middle of this project,and I bought the Taylor relocation kit from Summit for $120 with the aluminum battery box. Very nice kit ,it comes with everything you need. Then i got the Flaming River push/pull killswitch,which is $85 from Summit and also a very nice piece. The only other things I had to buy seperately was some 6 ga wire to run from the alternator to the battery side of the killswitch and some crimp connectors for the 6 ga, and 2 more connectors for the + cable going to the switch. As for the catch can I'll be buying a cheap Summit too.

Which catch can from summit is the go?

I have the summit one mounted on a home made bracket

Thanks that was quick..I could only find dry sump breater tanks, do you have a part number?

The jegs ones are a bit cheaper, check it out.

Right now I just have a cheep one(woody's brand) but IM putting in an order this week for one of these:

Its recirculating style so once the cooling system pukes it out it will also suck it back in like the factory system. I was having to empty my coolant jug everytime the car got hot and top off the rad.

Thats the same problem I had because the former owner of this car didn't have the catch can setup correctly installed.. He had the overflow hose from the top of the radiator going directly into the top of the overflow can.. Every time the engine would get hot it would puke out water all over the place because it couldnt suck the water back out of the catch can. And thats not a good thing at 135mph.. So, I took the loverflow hose off of the top port on the catch can and put it on the bottom of the catch can and left the drain cock OPEN.. Then just put a short piece of hose on the top of the can incase it overflows. Haven't had a problem with it since..
