well, i've been looking at either an Optima or an Odyssey for my Z. I'm going to be running a 10.5 CR on an L28. I plan on relocating to behind the pass. seat.
I've read about 6 threads on the subject of batteries and boxes, but it's time for some definitive answers. I've heard a little this, a little that, etc.
My car is going to be a street/SCCA car. I have found the rules for NHRA that say that all batteries must be separate from the driver's compartment.
Anyone have any rules or experience with SCCA? Do dry cell and gel cell batteries need to be in a SEALED box? does it need to be vented?
Another Q, would this one from Summit do the job? It is not seald and not externally vented.

any other recommendations? I'm on kind of a tight budget (spening 1050 at MSA on sunday to get the car ready to run)
