Move battery to trunk, how much improvement?

[myslowstang]

I've been thinking about moving the battery to the trunk. I know people do it because it removes the weight off the nose of the car and it improves weight distribution and it also improves traction but how much? Has anyone done a before and after comparison? I've looked and searched but couldn't find anything on how much improvement there was. How much quicker were your 60' times and 1/4 mile times?

I would think minimal if any; it looks good and does get weight off the nose and more weight over the wheels, but I think road racing is where you'd see any real differences. And I hear it's a real PITA!!!

Yeah I hear and see people that have done it but never really hear about how much improvement there was.

I was also thinking about doing it to get one of those intercooler tanks that goes where the stock battery is. Either that or moving the intercooler tank to the trunk.
