its a mystery to me Group: Members Posts: 1,826 Joined: 17-March 03 From: Marriottsville, MD Member No.: 434 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region |
Ok, I am going to relocate the battery. Should I cut out my battery tray and use it as the mounting plate in the front trunk?
( I got a new welder so this should be fun!!) Has anybody then ran the positive cable back to the stock location? I have a kill switch there, so I thought it should stay. The longest battery cables that I saw are 4 gage, 78 inches. Too short? Welding cable? This should get me about 30 # on my right front wheel, side to side weights are equal, cross weights are off by a little, with the right front wheel the lightest. This is for a minimal street/maximum track car... Thanks, herb |

QUOTE(914rick @ Dec 29 2003, 07:11 PM) I was thinking of 2, 6 volt Optima battaries because they are about half the size (height) of the 12 volt. what's the Amp on those? anything close to the 12V? Andy |
