^ Just put it in the bin, it's not going to move anywhere really. I had mine loose in the bin at VIR.
As for the kit, it looks good. You can also make your own. The thing I've noticed about some kits is that they don't use the best quality wire... they use the factory style wire which has really thick strands and is very stiff, making it tough to route in tight spots and tough to cut to length for a clean install. I'm not sure about the Summit kit. I just used car audio grade wire from an amp kit. What I did was cut the stock negative battery wire and ground it to a clean spot on the fenderwall (used a wire brush attachment to clean the paint off). Then I ran a separate battery ground from the relocated battery to the frame. These two new grounds improved interior battery voltage (as measured at the ECU by my Power FC) and battery charging. I also cut the stock wires from the battery to the fuse box and replaced them as they had noticeable corrosion. |
I'm gonna do a writeup soon on my battery relocation(re-do). It's just something to tickle your minds, as well as for you to comment on my(and my friend's) work.

cool let us know when its up.

Like most commercial relocation kits, the Summit kit does not include a circuit breaker. This is something you will have to add.

well i ended up going to home depot and buy the welder cable in 2gauge. i bought the smaller box from autozone along with 2 150amp circuit breakers (waterproof) just need a few more things, im following TEDs writeup. but i dont understand what he means by "ground lug" i cant see it cleary in his pic.

Interesting it might just be cheaper to get this kit then put together a kit one your own. Especially with the closed box and the 20 ft of 2 gauge wiring. All you really need is the breaker.
