battery location
 

noticed in the IHRA rule book, that they were allowing the relocation of the battery to the trunk, is that a IHRA only rule now? or is NHRA also allowing that in Stockers now?

Re: battery location
 

Speedy, you can ADD an additional battery to the trunk area. You can not move the battery from the original location to the trunk in NHRA. Exempt of course are cars that came from the factory with a trunk mounted battery.

Wade's right for NHRA

Re: battery location
 

plus BOTH batteries MUST be the same size if I'm not mistaken

Re: battery location
 

You also have to add a disconnect switch if you have the two battery set up.

So does everyone run a hollow case battery up front ??

Re: battery location
 

I wouldnt suggest it Im sure Tech is wise to that too!!!! comp

Re: battery location
 

if you add 2nd same size battery and disconnect switch does switch just have to cut off fuel and ignition or everything- cable all the way to rear and back up front??

Re: battery location
 

yup. Wiring mine up today, lol.

Re: battery location
 

when the switch is turned off it must kill every thing.

Does the performance advantage of having two batteries offset the weight disadvantage of 30' battery cable, another battery, and a switch?

Re: battery location
 

If your car is light, adding another battery to the rear might help with wt distribution. If you're not already looking to add weight, the best thing may be to replace the existing battery with a liteweight one.

Dean I don't know about the performance advantage. For me the peace of mind of the extra starting power is worth it to me. Nothing worse than being in the lanes and hearing click when you turn the key.
