What's the biggest battery that can be fit underhood with FMIC?

I'd love to fit an optima in there. I don't mind fabricating, but would love pictures. I want my trunk space back.

It depends on how you mount your FMIC piping. Go to where you want to put your battery, measure and then buy battery that fits with appropiate specs.

route your piping in the space under the battery tray so you can run a big battery... it is so fucking worth it.

Thank you.

I don't want a small (read, expensive and low capacity) battery, I want creative ways to get a fullsize in there.

Opponheimer: do you have any pictures of the actual battery/FMIC piping?

You can turn the battery sideways and squeeze it against the fusebox, or leave it and run your piping below it. Pretty easy to figure a way, even coming through just above the framerail, below the tray is feasible.
