you can't ever go wrong with a red top dry cell battery, they are on the spendy side though...

redtop optima is one of the best batterries on the market IMO. But I do want to look into a mini battery since I now have a FMIC. But a relocation would be better, although mini is easier!

I purchased a yellow top Optima, group size 51 and threw it in the passenger rear been without any hacking. This size is pretty hard to find. I saw it at Pep Boys for a whopping $159.00! So after some research I found this vendor selling the Optimas for very good prices. I got my yellow top size 51 for $89.95.
