But atleast if you have to add weight by mounting in the rear the weight is in the right spot, on the rear of the car so there is a plus!!

or option 3....get a light weight battery lose 20lbs and then relocate it to the back ad 5lbs and still be down 10 lbs of weight over all have 35lbs less over the fronts so now you do whooolies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whooolies FTW

 

IMO I rather loose 35lbs upfront and gain 46 in the rear (batt + wire) then to only to loose 20lbs up front. You want a better weight distribution to favor the rear. More weight off the front will put more pressure on the rear tires.

Yellowmonster- That's what I did.... Opt 3.

YOu the man bitemark...ima try and relocate the battery this weekend well see how it goes lol idk yet if ill have time....im not the most eltronically inclined but i imagine ill work my way around it

 

Well then get-r-done and post up some pics!

 

I got all the stuf to relote last year. came to over $250 to do it right and weighed 10Lbs more. I decided not to do it but now that I am getting the car ready for 9s I really have no choice.

At least I already have all the stuff

 

why are guys getting away with running the BMR battery relocator in the back of the car and its not a sealed box? im also doing this cause the ******* before me striped the battery bolt hold down under the hood so i figure im shooting for a low 11 now and hopefully 10 next year i might as well do it its all done wire all ran just waiting on the BMR tray for the bak that goes where the spare tire goes will try to get pics up by next week

 

I talked to my local speed shop and they said that if your runnin a Gel battery such as an optima then you are not required to run a sealed box...but for all others you are required to adhear to the sealed box policy.

2fast...where did you buy your stuff....im still lookin for a good deal on everything this weekend may not work out but pics will def be posted when i get it done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I got every thing from Jegs.com If I remember right even with a Gel you have to run a bulkhead or box

 

NHRA has not changed the rule yet to recognize the gel batteries...

They are definatly behind the times.

saving this good info

 

some cars today come with a battery located in the rear from the factory. arent these exemption from the cutoff switch rule?

 

Your right. I seen Cobalts with batterys in the back and z06

 

This mod isn't for everyone. 0/1 is highly suggested and it isn't cheap when you add up the 6-8 dollars a foot and all the connectors, mounts, and heatshrink you will need.

My car starts and runs accs much better after a relocation with 0/1 even though you have more "potential" distance to drop v over.
