You aren't gonna notice a difference in handling from a CF hood, probably not from moving the battery either. Now do those two things plus a lot more weight removal/distrubition and you could notice. The csvt is already pretty evenly weighted from what I hear. Of course you can still see improvements by removing weight and/or redistributing it to the rear (make sure you put it in the right place in the rear though). Of course, removing weight from the front will lower your traction at the drag strip. Anyways, about moving the battery, ATL-SRT (or svt on here) is putting a switch under his srt4's license plate, so he can just remove the plate at the drag strip and run. On the street, you'd never see it.
