Default Battery.

I decided on a Kirkland battery from Costco because they were #2 in Consumers Reports and they have a 3 year no question replacement.Problem is all the batterys I saw including the one recommended for 2000 C5 have the terminals on the wrong side.I want the positive side to be closest to the motor.Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Wrong forum. I doubt you meant to ask this question in the Forced Induction/Nitrous section...

My C5 has a TTi kit and having the positive on the engine side would just give the cable more clearance.No biggie.I thought that made it FI related.

New longer cable, perhaps? It's worth a shot. Criss cross them down low so it wont be seen.

Thanks,Matt
