I have a Optima staggered cell battery mounted to a tray that is mounted to the lower part of the spare tire well.
I have 1/0 fine strand welding cable running to a remote solenoid mounted up front on a my modified heater case.
Many people mount them up on the deck and that is where mine where when I had dual batteries.

I was thinking of same location.. what did you use under hood for solenoid

I used a Ford style solenoid, I looked for one that had the longest studs so I could use it as one of my distribution points.

I have mine up on the ledge to get it as close to the rear axle as possible. Anything that is outside the 4 wheels is dynamic weight and I like to have as little of that as possible

I have my tray on the ledge as well. As PontiacGP said, it keeps the weight above the rear axle....

I'm also running 1/0 fine strand cable for both power and ground, but straight to the starter on the power and to the frame for the ground.

What intake setup are you using for the TPI swap? What all do you still need?

Fyi... I was running a stealthram setup with TPI ecu, painless harness, etc that has since been retired and needs a good home due to finally going turbo LS.

I put my battery on the ledge over the rear axle too. Used welding wire for starter, but mounted the solenoid in the trunk too. That way there's not an infused wire running the length of the car.
