Nice!  What gauge are you running, and what are you going to do with all that space in the engine bay?  How has your experience been in the cold winters up there, I am always reading the Li batteries are not so great at low temp cranking.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

The battery has been good.. I change it out for winter.. but have been caught in 20 below zero (celcius) and it did start.. Not happily tho!
Never an issue in the zero and above weather.
I just used the stinger amp wiring kit .. the 4 guage. Easy to run and have it grounded to the drivers rear exhaust hanger.
Question for anyone rho.. the ground that came off the original battery location has 2 cables going into the harness.. I have asked at a couple performance shops that have relocated batteries in newer computer controlled cars and said I will be fine leaving it off as long as a good ground to the battery in the back is used.

You mean in addition to the ground cable itself ( to chassis), you have 2 cables going into the harness?

Meth kit would fit nice there!.
Ya if you look at the ground off the battery there are 2 cables that disappear into the harness plus some circle plastic thing with a sensor plugged into it. Not at all sure what that does.

too big, maybe?  Forum only accepts 2 MB pics.  Do you have a photobucket or flickr account?  Or you can email it to me and I can resize for putting up on here.

If that is 4 AWG that is a bit small for trunk mounting a battery. I can't tell if it is 4 or 4/0 from the picture.

Sometimes you have a ground to the body and directly to the starter computers
