I don't think there's a size issue at all. It's huge

i am not sure weather your competing or it a daily driver because there is other stuff such as alts battery isolators and even one of these see link as for batteries why go optima? you can pic up a good starting bat for under 65 bucks from places such as wallmarts and k marts. i have had bat from the two in my cars ever since i have been driving. optima is good were you do not want fumes like in the cab of a truck when you relocate the bat box. so you do not kill the optima or the wall mart brand bats use a bat isolator between it and the kinetics. see the reason optima are preferred for in cabin use is racing and the gas expelled from batteries can explode so they made the non spill able optima which still is required to be in a bat box vented. i would go for a isolator unless your class you compete in is no run of vehicle and the link be low will help plug in the idea for it. can be installed right on the bat bank. any ways just some tips

Whether it was the best or not I'm not sure but I used an Optima Red Top under the hood of my car. The thing is still going strong in another car after 5 years. My next starting battery for my new car/system will be an Optima Yellow top (for the deep cycle capability).
