i have my two step, 6al, and timing control all in the same spot as fast blacks relays and ignition, it seems to be a good place for them, and the battery really does belong in the trunk.

hmm, ill have to rethink the battery but you guys are runnin carbs, the spot you placed it is where my air intake runs. Out of curiosity, how much is involved in moving the battery?

you need a kill switch (if you plan on running at the track) about 20' of 2/1ga wire, a battery box, and about 2-3 hours worth of time to get it right
