That's good karma that you mentioned that my brother! I am going to do that as part of one of the following "service events":Time to put the battery in the trunk! Move that weight back for better traction when you DUMP that clutch
*Prep to install the 541 aluminum stroker. (A lot of prep, mostly traction aids, frame and suspension reinforcements, and drivetrain upgrades were done over the last couple of months.)
OR
*Having my trunk floor rust condition evaluated and either getting it replaced or repaired. I may go ahead and get the USCT leaf spring relocation kit and AMD wide rear wheel tubs installed. I have got to find a place that will widen a pair of the aluminum Rallye wheels I have and like so much, or a distant second consolation would be to get all new wheels, but I don't want to have to do that. I may find that the wheels I have now, with the right tire, the traction aids I've added along with the launch control and some practice will get enough grab to get the job done, but honestly I LOVE REALLY WIDE tires on a B-Body, so I may do it more for appearance. On the other hand, I am pretty happy with the look I have now with the 315/35/17 width, and I'm going to try the same Toyo Proxes TQ drag radials but in the 345/40/17 size. My only concern other than them fitting in the wheelwells is my 9" wide rear wheels are 1½" narrower then the minimum recommended on the tires I have although they look fine. The 345/40s call for a minimum 11½...
OR
*IF I ever get the power of the 541 under control, and have taken my car as fast as I can with the combo, or I want an "oh ****" button to grab back a fender or car length, or just for the fun of it, I have looked into the 6bbl Nitrous Express spray plates setup, I already have one of the spray plates, and THIS is where the fuel for the Nitrous would come from, and it goes in the original battery location:
I'd fill it with AVGAS, 110 ocatne Turbo Blue, or some other race gas.
