I'm moving my battery to the trunk when I get to that point this fall/winter. I didn't think there was anything to worry about? Seems pretty straight forward. 2 gauge wiring, two 2 gauge ground wires, battery disconnect to alternator.

Yes this thread has gone off topic but it's informative I don't want my car to burn.

Jesse is arguably the best in the business. I'm using his Manifold on mine. I did the rest.

Ronnie (JDL Guy) and I are really good friends and he and I have been through a bunch and worked together quite a bit over the years. Here is a set up that we built in my garage. I should have the tune done this week and have it up an running.

Once it's done I'll fiddle with the AC set up and get it done over the winter.

Here are some pics of the build.
