I ran mine on the right side of the tranny, you can see the red cable in the pic.
Later on in the build I covered the battery cable with corrugated tubing. I also covered the fuel line with a heat reflecting covering from Summit.
Both run just under the floor.

Did it pass through the driveshaft tunnel or under the floor? I like the heat shield. thanks for the help.
Neither run thru the driveshaft tunnel. I fastened them to the frame under the floor.
I didn't want it anywhere near the driveshaft in the unlikely event the driveshaft or u-joints broke.
Didn't want the fuel and battery cable to get hit. Fuel and sparks don't go well together.

I attached the cable with the supplied clips to the side of the tunnel, on the inside. The driveshaft and universal are in the tunnel and I suppose could be an issue if it broke. However, I've never had the universal on a vehicle break at that location. All the ones I've broken were on the rear end connection.
A driveshaft safety hoop is an added precaution, is worth taking. Not just for the battery cable, or any other wiring routed through this area, but it might save your butt from a beating.
I used these type of harness attachments, which were nice as they allowed for the multiple looms run down the tunnel, without each loom needing it's own attachment. I riveted them to the tunnel frame, then just picked the appropriate size zip-tie needed.
