I just got a walmart smallest battery and put it in the rear bin. The only battery that would fit up front would be odessy(?) or a bike battery.

why don't you just relocate yours? It's not hard and it will give you better weight dist. along with more room and less heat in the engine bay. Battery tends to do a lot of heat soaking while under the hood for those that didn't know.

Making a post about a company 'sucking' without a detailed description of why they 'suck' is abit immature. I met Brandon at rotary revolution and bought a bunch of goodies from him and have had no problems. The battery I did buy was lost in the mail and once I told Brandon about it he sent another battery in 2 day shipping...

If you want to keep your battery under you hood, go to your local car audio place, they should have very, very small batteries that put out more CCA's than an optima red top. I have the Greddy FMIC and the Koyo radiator as well, but when I went to the audio store to see the price of that battery, it's definately worth it to just relocate it. It was like $240 for a highpower audio battery. Instead, I just drilled some holes in the fire wall, ran battery cables back to the passanger storage bin, and put my battery there. It really clean up the engine bay. Thats what I'd recomend.
