Been thinkin about moving the battery to the bed
Do you think 4 gauge wire would be enough to run it up to the little hot box under the hood from the bed? I was wanting to put it right up next to the cab on the driver's side.
What ya'll think? I'm trying to help my launch out and clean up the engine bay a little more. The extra space would be nice for the RADIX intercooler.

4 awg sounds to small to me..i would do a 0 gauge or maybe double 0 gauge (mainly because of the distance traveled), and not to mention how demanding the ignition system, starter, and ecm are

I also thought that the reason racers put their battery on the passenger side is to help put more weight over the passenger rear tire, which is the one that tends to unload when launching?

I think I would invest in a good battery box and locate the battery on the passenger side of the bed,so you can run your cables the shortest distance back to stock battery location to maintain a good ground for your under hood components.[I was meaning to say locate it on the driver's side I guess I was still asleep when I posted this morning.]
