I have a red top that i just got, for dirt cheap. but its the wrong one where the positive terminal is far. I am assuming already the wires wont reach but I've seen dustin brown running it so it seems like there is a way to work it or extend it. Also i heard to our battery terminals won't fit over the battery posts. Worse case, I'll try to get the red top part number that actually has the pos terminal closest to the harness.

I would just extend the positve cable some with some 4 gauge wire, and a new battery terminal, connect it to the stock wiring and wrap it up nicely with electrical tape or similar, then hide it out of view. Then just completely move the negative over and connect the wires to different spots or run new wire altogether with a new battery terminal. Should be cheaper then buying another $160 battery. I just ordered a model 35 for my 2000 GTS
