I'm gonna be relocation my battery soon to make room for a 2g maf. Thinking about putting it on the cross member. Do you think a 340 cca tractor battery well be efficient enough for a DD?:confused:

It's warm out now, and I'll be leaving alaska in augest. Well maybe I'll just fork over the money for a narrow/taller battery that might fit on the cross member. Which is 650cca IIRC.

No way. I have a brand new 470cca (tested at 550cca) honda battery mounted on my crossmember and if I leave the lights on a little too long or leave the ignition in the "on" position for awhile it cranks really slow and takes awhile to start the car. I wouldn't go that low on cca's.

Why not just relocate to the trunk? I love having a large battery in all my modded cars, more stable voltage which is better for electronics, easier starts, dont need to have the car running just to run headlights ect.

+1 Optima red top in the trunk for the win. 950cca IIRC.

Those are way to low CCA! I would sugguest nothing less than 450CCA just for good measure but I say relocate to the trunk unless you dont wanna run those wires then just spend the money and get something better...

Well I was debating on relocating to the trunk, I like the idea of having it in the trunk and opening up all that space. But I eventually plan on taking it down the 1/4 mile. I don't like the idea of having a external kill switch. :( I actually have a redtop at the moment. I can actually make it fit where the stock maf was located which is what I well most likely do.
