i just got mine done......what box did you get? has to have a vent tube!...taylor or moroso is the only ones that most tracks reconize.....i'm using summits....just make sure you put on the on/off sticker[&:]
don't let summit con you in getting another sticker,cause the switch does come with one.....also get the painless
50105 relay kit........open it up and throw alll the wires away......they are too short...blah!
get some 6 gage wire for your alternator hook up 25ft wiil be enough for everything.....and i used 10 gage for the starter wire from relay to master switch hook up.....i'll get pics up if you want......and it works great....
only question is you can't use your alarm with that can you?

open up a summit catalog, go to the section where is shows the battery relocate boxes.
the summit kit comes with everything but you can also buy all the **** seperately.
box is 10 bucks seperately, strap is like 4 bucks. thats about it, i also bought the summit kill switch for 19 bucks.

the cutoff switch must be functional from outside the trunk and it must be labeled clearly as to the OFF position. it also must shut off the motor when the switch is turned off so you must run the alternator output wire back to the positive battery post side of the switch so the engine stops running immediately when the switch is turned OFF. most tracks check the switch by having you start the car up and then they throw the switch to the OFF position and the engine must stop right away when this is done.
