I've got to stay on schedule for Limerock on April 21st. Still have to tune, setup the 7pts, Wideband and other odds and ends. It's sat since Saturday and just started right up today. I'm hoping I didn't really hurt her too bad! If not, I think the Hawker I got was only likr $60.

That's what I'm thinking now. The 'correct' chargers for them are pretty pricey, typically the same price or more expensive than the battery itself. Go figure.

LS1 Inside! / Toolbox / Mechanical Engineer Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,215 Joined: 5-February 04 From: NJ Member No.: 179	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.
