Hm my friend bagged his truck he put his batteries in the back. Looks like all he did was run a like zero guage power wires. I am not postive though. I do know youll need a mount for it in the trunk.

More space in our already cramped engine bay...especially crucial for turbo applications when running intakes

does it really help? I mean...the parts are usually made to fit with the battery right? plug you get more grip with the weight on the front.'

EDIT: btw, not arguing. Just curious

I know a few people who has done this. I'll ask around. It makes it easier to fit more under the hood, plus better for custom parts, no need to make them around battery.

i need the room for turbo stuff like the intake, and i also need to move my ecu to a new place, and i was probably gonna put it there.

yeah...you could always just ghetto rig it. I mean...as long as it doesn't move and the cables don't come off.
