Get a light weight (motorcycle) battery (even better, an Optima Redtop or similar gel cell) and relocate it to behind the passenger seat. If it's "only" a motorbike batt, you'll need a box. This way you don't need all the 1- or 0-gauge wires heading all the way back to the trunk. (save yourself a few lb right there) ... also this will improve the balance of your car -- more weight to offset the driver, as well as more weight behind the front axle, lower down, and towards the middle of the car.
