Your battery relocate is nice but you need a vented box to be track legal.  I realize that the pictures look like in progress photos so I assume you already know this.  Since I have had a very similar setup and know what I was able to get out of mine I am curious about a few things. 

1.  What does your car currently weigh?
2.  What transmission are your using?  Auto/Manual  and Stall if auto?
3.  What gears are you running in your differential?
4.  What suspension are you currently using front and rear?
5.  What modifications to your differential have been made?
6.  At what RPM are you planning to shift?
7.  Do you plan on running slicks and a drive shaft safety loop?
8.  Are you planning on installing a roll cage?

at my track as long as you have a firewall you dont need a battery box.

1. i dont know the curent weight
2. i am going to be using a C4 Transmission
3. 4:11 gears
4. we will be using a coilover front struts & stock shocks/springs in the back with adjustable controll arms
5. we have a locker and c-clip elimanators  with 31 spline axels
6. 6000 RPM
7.Slicks, and yes; drive shaft safety loop
8. yes to a roll cage, you never know what'll happen :P
