Message	The last couple of days I have been working on relocating my battery to the rear of the Z. I fabed it in place and ran my 4 guage cables from the rear to behind the pass seat running along the edge of the floor board underneath the carpeting. Now I have about 2.5 plus feet of cable comming out of the end of the carpet. Im looking for sugestions on a location where I should drill the holes for the cables to run them up the fire wall to the stock battery cables. I was thinking about drilling just underneath the ECU frame, bringing my cables out to the underside of the car and running them up the fire wall. Is there a better and easier way, or am I on the right track?
