Thanks for the interest. I will have to dig up some pictures on the ABS relocation. Here is a picture of the tank install with the ABS unit next to it. I mounted the ABS unit behind the passenger seat next to the tunnel. Also I pulled the ABS ECU from the Left rear and relocated it where the rear right speaker was located. I eliminated all the wiring from the driver side all the way around to the passenger side, the ABS ECU wiring harness basically circled the vehicle. I only had to splice about 10 wires to the unit itself. It was not as difficult as I thought it was.
I will dig up some more pictures, these are not that great for the ABS relocation. Also I used the -3AN speed flex lines with aluminum banjos from the unit all the way to each wheel.

Goals:

Weight reduction, relocate weight to the lightest corner of the car.

ABS ECU = 2.2 lbs
ABS unit = 14 lbs

relocated to right rear corner of car.

Removed 7 lbs of steel fittings, tees, brackets from the stock brake lines.

I have not had any issues with brakes, 2 seasons of racing so far. Well except for the master cylinder failing at NSS last year.
