Default Battery relocation help handling?

So, will I feel a differance in handling from relocating the battery to the spare tire area?

Also, can I relocate my stock battery safely, without venting, or do I need a different one? ( wet / dry )

If you relocate to inside the passenger compartment, you will want a sealed battery such as an Optima.

You will not feel a difference in handling. For the street it just cleans up the underhood area. If you go to the track, it will help with weight distribution and alittle with traction, chassis twist.
