I need to add weight up front in addition to a front spoiler. Because of a 11:1 compression, I really need 2 batteries to start the car just to be safe. It seems each startup really takes its toll on the battery. I am going to have my batteries load tested. I am thinking of putting a double aluminum battery box up front with a 3 way switch (#1, #2, Both, plus OFF) in the cabin along with a "Battery Bug". It is a real neat gauge that monitors discharge, charging and warns if the charge is lower than the last start up needed. Has anyone put their batteries up front??
?
I was also thinking of putting a fuel cell up front instead of the batteries to supplement the standard fuel tank. In this case, I would put the batteries in the rear which is easier. I have used fuel tank switch over valves in another car and they worked great. I have both the fuel gauge and valve hooked to one switch so when I flipped to another tank, I knew the level. The 10 or so gallons does not go far with 430 cubes!?
