Hey guys, I am (finally) doing a shark injection on my car, however, there is a problem!!
I need to put clamps on the battery to charge it....but there are already clamps on it, from the car itself! And it won't do much good to disconnect the car clamps and charge it...because then the battery will be disconnected from the car itself!! It was my understanding that the battery had to be charging through the entire process...how in the hell do I keep both things going at once?!
all you should need are jumper cables to attach from the charger to the battery...

ahhhhhh... its easy... put the red one... on the red one... meaning.. possitive on the possitive... and the black to black.. just clip it on top of the battery cable.. that is already there.. dont disconnect anything.. just clip on top of it...
Its there so that if for some reason your car needed more juice... the battery volts wouldnt have any type of flux... yet another reason why you have an alternator... computer dont like un-constant voltage.
Gah, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I noticed no low end difference in power when I injected it. If anything, it's even slower. But up high it's much better...topped my baby out at 150mph tonight, wee!
