Sounds good, just keep in mind thats a long run. And k
Charging the frame as a ground is proven to accelerate rust/corrosion. So if they salt the roads in mass id coat the frame at least.
Just some thoughts! I think this will work well for you, handeling i noticed was loads better, took her to 115 and noticed the rear slumped in a better manner, calmed down like a dart.

Also i highly reccomend an intruder switch on the container the batts will be in, mine has a dead man switch wired into the door sensor on alarm module so no one can just disconnect batt , shatter window, pop in nuteral and roll away. Hahha
