my question is how does the + side get ran? is there a junction block of some kind in the engine bay that you run the stock + wires to and then have that split off to the + wire going to the trunk?

if no junction block, do you run new thick white wires (the ones that come form the fuse box to the battery) all the way back, or what?

i dont wnat to spend $100+ bucks from summit when i can get it done from a local battery shop for half that, so no telin me to buy a relocation kit!

basicly, how are all the stock + wires ran to the battery?

i think a junction block would be best. im sure there are people ho have just extended the wires all the way back, but if i were to do this...id go with the block

I say junction block, because if you're going to make it NHRA legal, you'll need a single cutoff switch. And I know common practice is to remove the negative battery cable when working on the car, but most drag cars I've paid attention to have the switch interrupting the positive side.

"All vehicles except OEM must incorporate a master electrical disconnect switch that must disable all electrical functions.

This sounds like there are a lot of high-current disconnect switches involved, but there need not be. Often, there is one main 'safety' contactor in the battery pack circuit that is operated from more than one location. Conversely, you may opt for several separate large-current disconnects to fulfill the requirements.

Although there is no requirement in the rules, it is very smart to have a way to easily disconnect both the positive and negative leads of the battery pack."

Hell I just relocated my battery in the back actually. I attached a 2 gauge wire from the battery in the trunk, throught the cabin, through the firewall, and hooked that up to the positive cables in the hood using a metal long nut that attaches all the extra wires getting power from the battery (in line fuel pump, fuel pump rewire mod, etc...). I have no clue what a junction block is so hence the reason there's none there . No problems so far. My battery voltage base on my apexi tt reads the same readings so I am guessing all is good

Tim I have the summit kit and I had to get a junction block from some car audio place. I got 120 amp fuse to go inbetween the line and the battery. Just to be sure that it did not ground out and melt my car down.

The new:

Someone should take some pics of their junction block and where they ran wires to atleast give the eyes some candy to look at. Sometimes you can have a great write-up or how-to made, but without pics to help justify where and what your talking about sometimes gets people lost...unless you catch on really good about electrical stuff. Just a thought.

^^ good idea! pics would be awesome, since whenever i say 'junction block" around here, people look at my and just scratch thier heads...

All I'm saying is an emergency kill switch is not a junction box 'hatter.

Since some people have apparently never seen one, I posted the first pic I found.

Mine's a POS block of plastic from radioshack, hidden under the dash, and I wouldnt be caught dead with ricey ass gold terminals all over the place like that ^^^.
Edit- But it IS fused, and is NOT a buncha wires all bolted to one terminal.
