Kungfugirl, if you haven't done it yet, my car has the battery relocated to the trunk (right side) Excellent for weight distribution as well as bettery life. Vince (user name gurudel) helped me with it and did a write-up after we did it, so search for threads with his user name or mine. All we needed was the stock tray, 0 guage wire, and battery leads. Also, I'm in the valley if you want to look at it in person to see how it worked.

 

you go girl

 

I would do this
I also relocated the battery to the rear using a Summit racing kit
