I prefer the stock location also! Lots of folks move the battery box for varying reasons, none of which I have found necessary.
Routing of the exhaust pipe(s) has been the most common idea put forth as to why removal of the battery box and locating the battery in the trunk.. I gave that a lot of attention early on during my 1st V6 project. Finally decided to "notch" the bottom of the box about 1 & 1/2" by 3" and it made all the difference in the world for routing the exhaust pipe for the dual system. And I have a large battery fitting in there as well.
