Looking for battery recommendations for my GSX in anticipation of getting tuned in June. Has a 2.3 stroker with 9.0:1 compression ratio on E85 and 2200cc injectors, battery is relocated to the trunk with a shutoff switch due to an unknown draw. Not much for electronics as it's more of a track car but the fans are always on as long as the key is on so worth noting.. I have no idea what battery is in there now but it always seemed to crank slow since I bought it. Alternator is stock as far as I know.
Being it's a dry weather summer weekend car I don't mind throwing the Walmart special in for less then $100 but I would like something that "cranks confidently" for when I do decide to take it out. I'll also be investing in a battery tender for when I'm not running it. The Optimate Red Top sounds appealing due to having +700 CCA, most of what I can find relates to V8s running like a 13.0:1 compression and guys are recommending higher amps upwards of 900-1000. So what recommendations do you all have and is an "upgraded" battery really even worth it for this? Thanks in advance!
