Looking to get front end weight down.

Do you mind sharing what company and specs you bought, you make a good point about just leaving the battery in the front.
Dakota Lithium. 60 ah alternater compatable, 60 amp max charge rate. Comes with a 10 amp charger. Haven't used it yet, but going in for this season.
Between that weight savings, 105 lb lighter block, no hood (20) and driver diet looking to run 8.40 at 158
