I have a 16” electric fan, A1000 fuel pump, trans cooler with electric fan and an MSD 6A ignition. Bottom line, it spins the motor like turbo! I can’t believe that little battery that weighs nothing can store enough energy to perform like that. No between rounds battery charging and after unloading at home I hooked up the charger and it topped off in no time!
PS I set a PB of 9.25 at 142.5 mph in my single 4bbl foot break GTO.

I have been thinking of installing this one in a hotrod I am building for street use. Main reason is the 31 pickup with a Sbc is short on space to install. Do. You think this battery would handle electric fan, Ac , electric fuel pump, halogen lights?No stereo. Again, this will be for street/ daily driving. Will have a 100amp 10si alternator.
Plus it looks like it only weighs 5 lbs
Thanks for any advice!
