Battery relocation for HANDLING (not drag) - best spot to mount?

I know this is an older thread, but did you ever choose a location and try it? I was hoping to see some real world experience with different locations from some that track their cars like 72Blu, Autoxcuda, or Peter Bergman, (im sure there's others, but those come to mind)

it’s a small change moving to different location and getting measurable results (track times) and data acquisition.

It’s one of those little things that’s known by physics and engineering. You do a bunch of little things and it adds up. But individually might be tough to measure (especially home build)

There’s a few things happening:
-one is the inertia effect of the car swinging or yawing around its center or gravity (top view)
-another is the weight transfer from center of gravity height (side views)
-another is tire loading weight balance on scales of (top view) *this tends to be the most significant and measurable change.
