I know my starting system is wired correctly and I WONT pay pay BIG bucks for a battery.. I'll deal with the few pounds extra from the battery and loose the weight elsewhere..the street rod is 2920 with me and 18 gals of fuel and a real battery that was $43 at Costco... if I want less weight.. I'll run 3 gals of fuel instead of 18 gals... even then I most likely wouldnt run that low because I'm too lazy to add fuel every run..... but to each their own if that floats your boat
