the side that is light. most of the time it is the right side.

 

Passenger side and as far back as you can possibly get it is ideal .Keep in mind that your gunna have to install a master cutoff (that shuts all power to the car off ,including the alt.) if your gunna be taking it to a drag strip at sum point ...

 

Right rear and don't forget most sanctiong bodies require the trunk mounted battery to be inclosed in a steel container.

In a street driven car, right rear if the starter is on the pass side to avoid crossing car with battery cable.

 

Not only enclosed, but vented as well.

 

Your actually suppose to have a rear firewall that seperates the trunk from the passenger compartment (including the package tray if it has one) ,or you can just use a Moroso plastic box thats vented ,but they are pretty pricey.Mine is in a cheap boat type battery box ,but i have a rear firewall .Also make sure that if you use a battery box that it has an independent mount for the battery.You cant secure it with just the box or attach the mount to the box .It has to be seperate and has to be atleast 3/8 allthread or bolts that go to or through the floor ,no cheapo "J" hooks are allowed.Most people dont realise the pain it is to leagally relocate the battery in the trunk per the track rules.I know i didnt till i read up on it when i did mine in the Dodge ...

 

thanks all who replied it is mounted as far back and to the passenger side as possible the box is in the near future probably next weekend makin it out of 1" angle and 18 ga sheetmetal.
thanks
