Batt relocation ?

[SoB NiG]

Ight real fast questions for drag and time attack... I was told that as long as the battery is relocated infront of the firewall there does not need to be an external kill switch is this true??? Thanks

yep, as long as by firewall you mean front bulkhead. according to MOST ruling bodies, anything in "passenger cabin" or rearward needs box, tie down, breather tube, and cut off switch.

Sweeeeeet thanks! Lol cause for awhile ive been lookin at build threads and ive seen em stick there battery under they front bumper. I dont kno if they do track but i thought it was a good idea.

No problem and that is legal. As long as you don't alter OEM battery position (i.e. engine bay to trunk), you should have no worries.

Uh, if you drag race the car, I'm pretty positive that NHRA requires external kill switches anytime you relocate the battery. Mine is under the right front corner of the bumper for a few reasons, traction being one of them..
