why do that just put the battery in the trunk, car handles better that way also, plus i like to hook up just as much as the next guy, i say why not... my buddy did that ans also put an air bag on the passenger side rear tire fror more traction, he claims it works wonders

Relocate your battery to the trunk with the Steeda Battery Relocation Kit for more traction and better handling. Steeda tested it on their 4-wheel digital scale and found that moving a 35 pound battery from the left front of the car to the right side of the trunk actually put 60 more pounds on the right rear tire - where you need it most for traction. Better weight distribution also reduces "nose dive" during braking and improves handling response. Steeda Battery Relocation Kit includes battery box, cables & all necessary hardware.

Granted I would not pay Steedas outrageous price of $189 but I have seen them on ebay for $49, wonder how steeda stays in business

Some people spend $200 for 9 h.p., so 50 should be doable. Remember, your putting 40 pounds over your rear tire, and removing 40 pounds from your front end, can't do that with gas.
