I want to relocate my battery to the trunk to allow me to put my gigontrous air filter where the battery is now. What gauge wire should I use?

The bigger - the better. Bigger means less impedance.

By all means use copper.

3 four gauge wires will fit under the carpet better if you plan on running this through the car.

I used #2 welding cable in my LS1/ RX7 swap. Very flexible and it will handle the current.
