    Dont have any pics of my notch, but it's an easy install, you could easily figure it out.

    I just bought one a month or so ago, haven't done it yet though. Keep in mind, you need to add a battery cutoff switch for it to pass tech at the track if you plan to go (required if you relocate your battery). I didn't know about this till after I bought my kit, so I gotta pick one up. I don't track my car much, but I don't want to rule out the option, lol.

    Here's my engine bay without the battery.

    Make sure your relocation kit is IHRA/NHRA legal. Some kits are not.

    I bought the Moroso battery box and install kit, and the Summit switch, never installed them, and don't think I will. I'm just too lazy. :D

    $200 for all of it, all still new in box:

    To do the battery relocation, you need everything. Buying the box is only the box. You still need cables, etc, and the switch if you plan to race.

    Don't forget to add a breather tube for the battery box.

    I would never spend 230 for a battery location kit. Get the summit plastic box and run the cables. Its a real nice box, moroso makes it.

    NO, thats just labor..the moroso kit runs about 185$ but a taylor kit is 150$, these kits do not include the on/off switch...

    But... Taylor kits have an aluminum box unlike the plastic lunchbox that everyone sells.
