Go to walmart, buy a $30 battery with a 3 year free replacement garauntee, and then go buy yourself a KKM intake or something with the $100 you just saved. 2 uncles and 3 cousins of mine who've all dragraced, running 11 and 12 second cars, for years use walmart batteries exclusively, just becuase their cheap, unless you just want something yellow under your hood. Seriously though, no matter how much hp you got, it doesn't take any more juice to start the car.




Well, they don't need as much everyday reliability that we need. I'm looking for it as a battery that doesn't drain from using too much electricity. I think it's necessary for me becasue my old one basically just crapped out on me and I don't want it to happen again. And it takes more juice to crank a higher compression motor. Simple because it has more resistance. It doesn't need something really strong, but it'll definitely take something stronger.
