Default Re: Trunk mounted battery

Battery in the trunk has always been a great idea but don't forget that if do any kind of Drag Racing at an NHRA track, you gotta have a master cut-off switch at the rear of the car which can be a bit of a pain if you don't wanna drill primo sheetmetal on your car. Anyway, do a Google search and check out early '60's Chrysler Max Wedge cars. They came factory with battery-in-the-trunk. I'm pretty sure that moving the battery back there accounts for a full 1.0% in front/rear weight bias and that's always a smart move.
