New to S/Gas, Got couple questions.

[Tom Goldman]

I'd rather have that 70# in the back,over the wheels.
There are a lot of 2800# cars out there that hit the .370 tree.
Just curious,What is the life expectancy on the L-ION batterys?
I know the recovery time on L-ion batterys is quite quick,but will it stand up to repeated use,especially when you start running back to back rounds?
We were on a 15 min turn around at the Maple Grove National event , and my alternator quit 2nd round.The Red Tops got me thru 3 more rounds with minimal between round charging.

It is supposed to be 1000 cycles life. Taking the 70# off the rear is the one thing that has gave me pause. I am going to 16v, I bought a new trailer so going to use the red tops for that. I may end up just doing the standard 16v setup. Same weight as red tops but 16v. The one race that I ran S/G I lost 2nd rd and my lights were in the .015 to .028 range. I know being more comfortable with the .370 tree will improve that but still want to get the car better as well.
