Looking to buy, notice Vortech kind of expensive.

1) What are your suggestions
2) Price
3) Where you bought from
4) Have you had any issues with your alternator since relocating battery?

Thanks for the help...

make sure you use a solenoid on the positive cable. this way you do not have an unfused cable running the whole length of the car. Some people still argue with me on this one. the day their car burns to the ground they will probably stop arguing.

Proper gounding is key also. No self tapping screws here, if you know what I mean. I welded a 3/8" nut in the trunk and engine comparment to bolt the ground. Keep in mind that the Ford grounds are junk.

check out the MAD Electric website and this thread on the Corral in the SOHC forum. someone posted the wiring diagram for me.

The speed shop that did mine used welding cable, so there's little or no voltage drop. It's more expensive, but a lot less trouble in the long run.
