Battery amps

Is it bad to use a battery that puts out more amps then what Mazda originally put in the car? I have an extra battery from my truck that is 1000 amps. Will using this in my FC damage anything?

1000 amps will give you a hell of alot more starting power, plus you wont rely on your alt as much if you add stereo equipment

the bigger the better unless your cars on a diet
