Battery in the Trunk?

[Flcracker]

I've been thinking about moving my battery to the trunk and wondering if it's worth it? Seems like 33 pounds right over the back tires would be great for traction. Was hoping someone out there could tell me about how the car improved with the battery in the trunk. Thanks!

There was also a tread using a light weight battery in stock location.

Yea, I dig the lightweight 3-5# battery in engine.
Very easy instal, get's 25# or so out of car and not much more cost than relocating battery after wires and mount etc...
But the time SAVINGS!!

You add about 20 pounds of wiring to properly run the battery to the trunk, with leads on both sides. It also reduces your CCA, because of the added resistance of the longer wires.
