I have been looking around for one for quite a while now but havent found anything that really stood out as a nice kit. Most of it looks like its half assed parts and most of them don't come with all the nessacary parts. Not looking for anything "pretty", just well thought out. Maybe there isnt anything like that for relocation kits and you have to kind of piece it together.

Can anyone point me to a place that has a decent kit? Any help would be appreciated.

Oh I don't have to worry about any extra power for anything either, no radio going in the racecar (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) , but I don't know a good way to attatch the cable from the battery to the stock cables in the front of the car. I saw some people buy a little stereo distribution box and cut the end off the stock cables, then wire it into the dist. box with the cable from the back of the car.

The BMR looks like it's only good if you want to run an exposed battery. This is ok with me since I have a sealed Optima and I'm not trying to be NHRA legal.

I do know one thing, I'll be using 0 gauge for everything. My friend had either 2 or 3 with his old Malibu and had starting and charging problems all the time. He went to 0 and it never happened again. It may be different with the LS1 cars, but I'm not taking a chance.

If you do find a good kit/box/bracket, post it up here too. It will be atleast a month before I'm actually to the point of needing this in my car.
