Is there a compromise in the middle? Perhaps a smaller battery up front providing for the room needed and not taking as much weight off the front and not shifting any weight to the back. Or is it an issue of where the battery tray sits would be in the way of where a pipe would go to get to the manifold without needing an extra bend? Eh what do I know, I haven't looked at my 2gnt that closely in months.

You know enough. Couple of pics;

and my location for my batteries now (though they are both smaller batteries now and I redesigned the holding strap). There are a few theories out there that say this location is even better than over the axle for FWD cars. It supposedly helps keep the nose from coming up. Don't know if I agree, just another theory (I almost did a write up on this relocation. Its actually very simple and I don't believe I extended/changed any wires - just moved some).

Too bad this thread went in the direction it did. Justin, I would have enjoyed a bit of conversation about your prototype intake. Interesting that it goes a little against my thought processes for our cars. How/why did you come up with 5 liters for a volume? I take note that with of all the general aftermarket intakes out there (Honda, 4g63, Neon etc.) they don't seem to use that design (that's not necessarilly a knock. I'm all for trying something different). That's just a curiousity to me.

But don't sweat it Justin, we'll catch up at sometime.

And Mike, some will like your product and some won't. All you can do is put it out there and let the public decide. IMO their loss if they don't see the advantages. BUT that's just my opinion and as we all know, opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one.
