Default Car dies ?

After I had went FI. I had relocated my battery to the trunk, and at that went with a crazy ass odyssey battery. Not a skinny small one, I'm not at home to check it but it's a legit battery.

Now, half of the time when I put my top down, turn not in gear just coasting, or turn on my headlights, my car will stall.

1. Do I need a beefed up alternator ? Is mine bad ? It has about 26k on it and the car is an 02
2. Is it a tuning issue ?
Input ?

Check your battery connections... If they are loose at all it will cause your car to die.

What Gauge wire did you use for the relocation. If you used to small of wire it may not be able to properly carry current. You need to use a minimum of 4 gauge wire. I am also using a 100 amp circuit breaker with my setup.

Nope, my car has been perfectly fine except for an axle breaking after doing a clutch dump.

And gas mileage is better than NA.
