[QUOTE="PRP, post: 12830360, member: 97061"] The farther behind the rear axle you can put it, the better off you are. You get the "Lever/Fulcrum" effect with the rear axle as the fulcrum. So for instance, you could remove a 40lb battery from the engine compartment (they used to be AHEAD of the front axle), place it 3 feet behind the rear axle up against the rear of the trunk (if 3' is possible) and the end result would be a 60lb lighter front axle weight (numbers are loosely stated) because the battery behind the axle is actually 'lifting up' the front end. That's a OLLLLLLD drag racing trick. Phill [/QUOTE]
