The more I read about it, the more I shy away from the idea.

You're adding weight with cables, a box, cutoff switch, etc. I can just put in a Braille battery in place of the stocker and save 17 lbs over the relocation and not have to go through the hassle.

The only kit I'd use is the Moroso and it's $200 + work, vs. $300 done w/o needing to make holes for a cutoff switch.

moroso blue box is nice. i bought cable off of ebay. i used summits big lever kill switch.

weight behind the rear axle will help plant the tires during a launch. best to keep it towards the passenger side since that is the tire that lifts.
