[QUOTE="Sizeth3, post: 14520942, member: 95222"] I did this swap on my old street/strip car. I loved being able to shut the car off with a single switch, as we all know removing the negative on the battery isn't always convenient. On the other hand, if I had to do it all over again, I would go to a lightweight battery, and keep it in the stock location. If you calculate out how many amps you really need, most people need to run 1/0 battery cable. 15' of that stuff start to get heavy. Then, at least with my car, I had to run an alternator wire to the back as well. With a 100 amp alternator, I had to run #6 back to the battery in order to have my car actually shut off when I flipped my switch. All things considered, between the battery box, 1/0 cable, #6 battery cable, studs under the hood, I think the swap added 20# to my car. Granted it removed 50 pounds from the front of the car, it's not like our batteries are in the absolute nose of the car either. I think a lightweight battery with enough CCA is better in a lot of ways than a rear mounted battery. [/QUOTE]
