I am looking for something to do with my time and very limited money. I was thinking about moving the battery to the trunk but wanted to get any advice from the masses first. I also wanted to know if anyone else out there have done this and if it made any difference in the handling and traction.
I have removed my back seat, so the 40+ pounds that I took off the rear end I believe has my car much more spin happy under WOT. So this project has had some thought behind it. Any advice would be great. Thanks:SNSign:

Do it. It can do nothing but help. And it's not permanent. You can always go back. The fron't will rise more and the rear will hook more.

Get a sealed battery box and some straps. Keep it clean looking and professional.

I've been wanting to do this to my F150 for a while. Most likely will soon.
