NHRA legal battery relocation
I'm half tempted to order Summit's Premium battery relocation kit. It is NHRA legal and I can get it for cost from Summit. Does anyone have pictures of theirs or any tips for piecing together a kit that is NHRA legal? I'm wondering if it is cheaper to just peice together a kit or buy their premium kit.

I used the summit kit.
You will have to drill 3 holes in the side of the box for your battery cables, and the vent tube. The vent tube MUST exit the passenger compartment. The battery hold down bolts MUST be bolted THROUGH the floor, and mus be ateast 3/8" thick. your kill switch(required and not included) if it is a push/pull style, must be setup to "push" for off. I am running the Summit T-handle kill switch. Its rather big and beefy. I actually mounted mine through my rear bumper.
also, a 200A circuit breaker should be installed between the battery and the kill switch. (which I still have to do)
