Finished Batt Relo and Kill Switch, pics inside!
That "box" will not pass NHRA tech, maybe IHRA. NHRA specifically calls for a metal box, the only non-metallic box approved by the NHRA is the Moroso composite box. I tried using a Taylor relocation battery box and did not pass tech. Any battery must be in an enclosure if there is no bulkhead between the driver compartment and the battery. If you add a metal panel to cover the hatch area and it isolates the driver from the battery area, it will pass.

Battery cable should be 2 gauge or bigger... just an FYI

Also ran the alt wire to the switch the other day to complete the kill switch and everything works perfect with the 6 ga, so hopefully it'll stay that way.
