Strereo w/ mini battery

I've got a couple Focal subs with an 800 watt Mono block amp. I'm installing the Greddy fmic and the installation requires either relocating the battery or going with a mini battery. I dont want to relocate the battery because I plan on running in IHRA events and I dont want a battery cut off switch uglifying on the *** end of my car. So i'm leaning more towards going with the mini battery(dyna-batt), but I dont think it will be a big enough reserve to the stock alternator. Has anyone run across the same problems with any success??
Any input would be appreciated.

Well, i figured out and plan to use two dyna batt batteries in parallel to increase the available amperage. This will stay small enough to not interfere with the intercooler piping, but will provide enough reserve to keep up with all the accessories.

Nice, I love Zapco amps. That's all I've been running the past 6 years.

good thing about my zappco amp is that my RCA wires are less than 1 ft.it uses a symbylink cable all the way back to the amp.
