Ok so I relocated my Battery to my trunk. I grounded the battery negative to the trunk frame. Well the problem is, im now having starting issues. It sounds like when i dont have enough juice to start the engine. Now if i dont run the car at least once a day, the battery dies. WTF is the problem, can anyone offer some advice?

I suggest you change the wires for something like 35mm2 diameter. Also connect a groundwire directly from the battery to the gearbox/engine (in combination with the trunk ground wire)

The smallest wire (the lower the number, the larger the wire) I'd run is 4ga. Any kit you would buy would probably use that size.
A wire to the front for ground will help tremendously - solve the problem most likely. I have relocated bat's to the rear before, and there was a noticeable difference in each car I've done it in when I ran a dedicated ground wire from the rear to the front... with that said, everytime I've done it, the rear bat grounded to the body has been at least totally functional, just not as strong a start as stock. It sounds here like you are missing a ground connection from the engine to the body... but regardless, the dedicated line is definitely worth doing.
