Battery fitment with ATI procharger

I just BARELY have enough room to fit my battery in while clearing the intercooler piping. I can't use the stock battery hold down. Does anyone have pics of using a smaller battery or innovative mounting without moving to a trunk mount?

ProCharger provides a bracket to move the hold down. You can email TechServ@ProCharger.com for an install manual.

Actually, they just relocate the factory mount. You still use your hold down block. It screws down to the ProCharger provided relocation block.

Re: Battery fitment with ATI procharger

I went a lil different route. Got a piece of exterior grade ply 3/4 inch and actually turned the battery sideways. The neg post is buried behind the headlight bucket, (yes this is a firebird) and the pos post is fully accessible. Relocated the neg ground on the engine to a unused screw hole on the water pump housing I think.
