Default Big 3 question:

Getting ready to move the battery to the rear of the coupe and install the Big 3 upgrade also (though now it is way beyond 3). Upgrading audio system, as well as adding a number of new relays (hence the addition of a new aux post under the hood) to handle the fail safe system for the nitrous system. Diagram (please pardon the simple illustration as I am no electrical engineer) shows the wiring I am going to install. Any expert comments are welcome regarding the wiring routes. Thanks.

Looks good.

I don't see why you couldn't go to the fuse box post from the battery instead of to the starter motor, may be easier to run the cable.

Do you have a plan for a fuse of some type near the relocated battery?

Thanks. Yes the kit (from SAC city) has a 100amp fuse included by the battery connection. I am using their kit but obviously extending the wire runs. The rationale for running from the battery direct to the starter was a suggested route from another forum member. I assumed it just ensured a direct run without a junction point in between.
