Pros Better weight distribution More room in the engine bay Cons Long cable with extra resistance Battery inside car (venting is BAD!) Lost trunk space Costs money You want 2 gauge cable! It runs underneath the car. Don't forget the "Dyna-Batt" as an option... Even more Pros and only 1 Con... (Reserve time; yet I've never hit it yet - Knock on wood!) 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out! Whoever coined the phrase; "If it ain't broke; don't fix it" ~ Just doesn't get it...
