Battery Relocation on 2002 WS6?

[Patsy57]

Anyone move there battery to the trunk with a battery relocation kit? If so How does the engine and trunk look?

[bills98ta]

I put the battery where the spare tire was. You don't see it...

[Patsy57]

where is that? in front of the ttop holder?

[jimmybling31]

it's on the right side under he plastic thing

Hahah ^^ doesn't know where the spare is!

What kind of handling difference did it make.

[bills98ta]

Not really handling difference, but better weight transfer on drag launches.

Bills98TA,
Sounds like you actually do drag race. NHRA rules do state that when the battery is moved to a different location that a cut off switch also has to be installed to at least be NHRA legal. Did you put a cut off switch and if so where? Asking cuz the back end of our cars is all tail light plastic.

And yes to support Bill's post this is generally to allow for much better weight transfer to the rear so you get better traction on launches.

installed the switch to the right of the License plate. there is an empty space in the bumper where it will fit.

[bills98ta]

Wow ! Dual stage NOS on a six banger ! Looks Good !
What do get in the 1/4 ? If you ever get really bored, come on up to PA !!! I need you !!!

[Fury_786]

ive never got it to the track...runs 14's on motor on the street/gtec, i guessing mid to low 13's on spray

it isnt even fast anymore after buying an LS1 especially when i spray a 150 shot on the SS and it pulls the front wheel

whatcha need help with in PA?

[bills98ta]

I'm building two cars at the same time... The one in my avatar is getting a motor built, then I got a 78 firebird that I'm biulding a BBC with an 871 blower... Just running behind schedule for drag season... Hope to have my 98 done by next week !!!

[Fury_786]

haha geeze, i know all about too many projects. ive got 2 fbodies, a '51 chevy pickup and a slingshot dragster. ive barely got time to run just my ss at the strip between work and car shows and stuff.

the dragster hasnt been run in about 2 years and my truck project just started about 6 mos ago.

fun isnt it?

[bills98ta]

I figured you'd like the 78 Bird ! It needs wired from scratch !!! Looks like your specialty !!!

It's a Blast !!!

i do okay wiring...i have no patience, but if its something i need to do right, i can manage. im more into fabricating and welding, and i do all my own powdercoating so i stay pretty busy.

ive still gotta re-wire the spray on my supersport, i did it about 9pm on a sat before opening sunday...one of those 'hey, why dont we go racing tomorrow...and lets run the spray' ideas lol

as far as scratch goes though, a painless harness and a good pair of automatic wire stripper, and its a fairly easy job

[bills98ta]

It won't be bad. It's all MSD. I've been working on it, while the machine shop finishes the LS1. At least we are never bored !!!

[Fury_786]

t least we are never bored !!!

no kidding! keeps me off drugs and outta the streets.

keeps me single alot too lol...most girl dont like being 2nd to the hobby.
