Bored, definately. But I'll let you in on a little secret, I rarely need the meds anymore - but I'm still gonna use it as an excuse ha! Not sure I could spend 4 hours in a Starbucks without resorting to automatic weapon fire, then I don't think I could handle cheer competition either(unless they were at least college age girls

). Feel for ya man

ahh i see... tried to find the exact explanation on the kill switch but most pointed me to throttle kill switch to prevent further release of the gas in case of an emergency? is this correct purpose of the kill swtich?

Also, it possible for u to a short video of how it sounds like when u start up ur car? I have mine relocated to the back too and experience a short delay when starting up everytime. Hopefully this wont effect the engine in the long run...

just bought the 200 amp breaker recently, also serves as a disconnect switch if you need it. My Li-ion racing battery has it's own on/off switch, both on the battery case itself and a second wired switch that can be installed on the dash etc. I also still have the original battery connection and fuse in the front engine bay too. This just protects the wiri g in the event the positive battery cable itself shorts between that connection and the rear mounted battery.

I didn't get the superlight small one. It weighs 9 lbs but has the capacity of a 40 lbs regular battery

Right thats exactly what I said

You can consider both as both are correct however yes the industry still follows conventional flow.
