[V8Vairs] Batteries up front

[smkukowski at aol.com]

I put a timing retard box on my Corv8 to cure the starting problem?due to?high compression.? It retards the timing 4-6 degrees upon start up and when you rev it above 1500 RPM it changes back to normal timing setting.? I have?had?no trouble starting even on a hot day in between SCCA runs.? It's made by MSD.

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?
