1. move your battery
2. trim some metal off your intake
3. Stick some padding in between

Smaller batteries are bad, mmkay?

you may not get a dent in your intake, but the rest of your electrical system will fail eventually, and you'll be placing more work on your alternator...

my kit only cost me 20 bucks for the 4 guage. I made my own battery box, and make sure you vent it.

If you move the battery put it in the back right hand side of the car to off-set your own weight. This helps the car in handling believe it or not.
