Have any of you guys relocated your battery in your car? If so, did you notice a difference in handling?
I ask because I'm not sure that I feel a real noticable difference. I finally got my car back together after doing tons of work to it, part of which was replacing the Costco battery in the engine bay with an Optima Red Top in the passenger-side section of the trunk, mostly because I thought it would help handling. Maybe it's because I hadn't driven the car for over a week up until last night, so it doesn't feel that different...I'm not really sure. I'm just curious as to whether anyone noticed a difference in their car's handling when relocating the battery to the trunk. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

adding 4 gauge wiring isn't gonna add that much weight. That likke weight, around 5 pounds would be better off being lost through a diet. 5 pounds isn't a lick of difference. The front/rear weight ratio will be a hair better. The biggest pro is being different and making the bay look cleaner. (and maybe a custom intake closer to the front of the car).
