It is very diffult to quantify or measure. Sure it will help with the weight transfer, but to quantify it in terms of 60' times is realistically not able to be done. You are simply removing weight from the front where you do not want it and placing it over the right rear tire where it will help more than it will hurt.

Battery relocation is one thing people do to improve their launch. Measuring the change in performance of relocating 50-100 pounds on a 3600 pound automobile is not practical. My suspicion is you will not see any change in your timeslip. You will add some weight due to longer cables and an external kill switch.
