I really don't think the battery weight will make that much of a difference. If you want traction up front, upgrade your suspension. That will help more than weight. The best weight ratio for a car is 50/50. With the battery in the trunk, you get closer to that ideal ratio. Of course it all depends on what you want to do with your car. The above is for autoxing.

I was thinking of using the stock hosing near the battery.. and connect it to the custom airbox that'll surround the injen short ram intake that I have... well, the filter part of the intake anyway. that may be the best way... or just go back to stock and regain ur low-end. heh.

either way, I'm kinda lazy at going at it.. but I guess it'll be my little summer project. or some weekend project.

I guess, im not much into auto-x more into drag racing. Car is slow anyways, I will see if I can work around the battery somehow.
