I have a summit battery box that I'm using to relocate it to the trunk. It is a sealed box that is nhra approved.

I would use caution when designing a battery box, this can be a big safety concern. I only paid about 100 bucks for my kit, not a bad price.

can yu send me a pic of the kit?

i mean 100 is a bit pricey for a box i think..

might seem "pricey" but in the grand scheme of things if it isnt done correctly...think of the repair bill to fix it up... and something that is nhra approved for $100 is a pretty good deal..some kid that comes to a car meet in my area did a rewire in a eg hatch and it cost him his soul to fix it..

It doesn't come with just a box, it comes with brackets to mount it, a new battery tie down, new connectors, wires to run from the front of the car to the trunk. It's complete.

I also want to point out that batteries emit some gas, and the battery must be sealed if in the passenger compartment to prevent the driver from inhaling them.
