id say battery mods are only worth it when you actually need a battery. and I'm not sure putting it closer to the starter changes much.

a few guys with geo's use this setup:

4S3P A123 Motorcycle Battery Quick Connector 13 2V6 9AH | eBay

Light W8 Battery

saves a lot of weight, better handling, and cleaner engine bay. Pretty good setup
