hardly any loss....its a very small box, about an 1 1/2 inches bigger on all sides of the battery. it worked out very nicely. holds in very tightly and the cutoff switch idea came from another member here. it looks extremely clean. I think im going to mod my license plate with a hinge so i can flip it up easier and have a magnet post at the bottom that'll hold it in place.
yes it was the summit premium kit which i recommend due to the 1awg wire it comes with and the box looks nicer. doesnt have that crappy look strap across the top of it like the standard kit.
install took about an hour.

funniest part of the whole thing is i was having some random charging issue previous to the install but now that i got the kit in my aftermarket gauge is always reading 12.5 volts constant. i think i might have had some loose connections previously or bad grounding or something.
i love it when a plan comes together!

Theres a few ways to run it. Inside your driverside fender there is a grommet on the firewall. I just popped that grommet out, ran the cable from the motor bay into the fender, from the fender into the firewall, down behind the kick panel, under the door sil, under the rear seat and straight at the battery in the back passenger side. Worked flawlessly.

Just get a 80's style gm flip bracket like I did. It's spring loaded and it will stay up or down. 5 bux at a j/y.Great job!
