Ok I was at the gas station on my way to the JY and went to restart my car and it wouldn't start. Somehow I got it to start just barely so I went straight to the auto parts store and bought some 1 gauge wire and also found out that gell cell batterys take alot longer to charge and mostly that why mine wasn't working. I told the guy 15ft he going no you just need 13ft cause its like 2.50 a foot. Well I go measure and tell him 15ft, buy the wire and go home and go to install it. Guess how much he gave me? 13ft. So I was force to move the battery back to the engine bay but it keeps slamming into my CAI and knocking to loose. Is there anyway I cause go buy 2-3 more ft and attach it to what I have? Or am I out 36.00 buck.

you love to waste your money don't you...Take it back...tell him you wanted 15 and he gave you 13...problem solved.
I would say take that cai out that you rigged up until you can put together a decent one. In the meantime put your battery back where it was and pray that you haven't messed it up already.

I say yeah just go back to the store and tell them u wanted 15 ft. and do it. I did it and it works awesome, I think I noticed better weight distribution. Anyway good luck and show some pics!

The Battery relocation kit that I told you about before would have had everything you needed to propperly relocate the battery to the trunk.
Do it right, or don't do it at all.

I bought a battery box w/ vents. I'll take it back and see if he'll give me 15ft. I see he being a PITA!
