Sounds good transferring as much weight from the front to the
rear (that's what was done in the old muscle car days). Locating
it to the right side is good because on a power launch, the rotation
of various components results in the torque trying to pull the
right rear off the ground and plant the left rear...if you've noticed
at the track, it's usually the right rear tire that spins.
