Which one is the best?

I was looking at the summit kit: Summit Racing SUM-G1231-K - Summit Racing® Premium Battery Relocation Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com

I like that it is vapor sealed and plastic (doesnt add a bunch of weight and I don't have to worry about a battery box that is highly conductive aluminum!)

Thoughts?

There isn't a best. They're all the same if they include the proper parts.

What should I look for in a kit?

What about these kits? (Moroso and Mr. Gasket)

MOROSO NHRA LEGAL Sealed Battery Box

The Moroso kit is pretty expensive if you get the wire kit (about $200 total) and the Mr. Gasket kit isn't sealed.

That's the kit I used. Good for the price.

your buying your kit ala kart or piecing it together...the cables suck...they are thick core strand thus making them very hard to bend...

go to a welding store or stereo shop for your cables...and instead of fuses...use a high amperage circuit breakers....they might have them @ a stereo shop or marine store...

Summit and Jegs sell a LOT of sealed NHRA-approved boxes. Any that is sold as "complete" with wiring will suffice. I'm making my own.

I just ordered the Summit kit.

Did anyone notice any improvements after installing one of these kits?
