Cold cranking amps for an LS1

[NU13]

So guys, i think it's new battery time for me. What CCA's are you all using for LS1?

the original battery was 430 cca sounded sad so stuck it in my HQ
and got a Delkor 620 nice battery at a great price, turns over well , but needed a battery for the tractor so put it in .
and now got an Optima 35 Redtop 720cca that I got for $249.00 delivered , cranks away nicely they're good value now .

So i'm going to need 580cca i think. Will my mods make a difference to what i need? Cam, extractors and the like?

Go as big as you can afford. I would use 600 minimum. I have an 800 in my Rangie, and that's only a 3.5L.

Car batteries is one of those things were bigger is definitely better.

I had a 620cca in various cars and it lasted for about 10 years. It wasn't been taxed hard and with plenty of reserve capacity for those occasions when things don't go quiet to plan
