I read somewhere that the Hawker battery can't handle too much heat? Has anybody had problems with battery temperatures when road racing or open tracking? Taking another 17 lbs off the front in addition to the glass hood, gutting, etc would be nice.

If you run the Hawker, put it in the stock location like Jon did. I put mine where the passenger seat used to be, and it was very marginal in being able to start the car. I eventually sold it to someone else who was going to run it in the stock location.

I do also have a master kill switch on the driver's side a-pillar, so the length of cable is longer than if you don't have this, but a stock battery has no problems with this.

Yeah...like Mike, I have seen people with the Hawker have problems when remote mounting it in the trunk and running long lines...I would not use one for that kind of set up....
