That takes allot of power. Red Tops are more for performance Porsches that have turbos or aftermarket superchargers. By the way, they are NOT cheap batteries, but best bang for the buck! Will outlast any other battery out there. Plus they are maintenance free, and completely sealed! Hope this helps if you plan on getting a new battery.
Hi,

+1 on the Optima. GMT (Glass Mat Technology) Batteries like the Optima are way ahead of traditional Wet Cell Battery technology. Generally 3 times the lifespan for only twice the price of a traditional battery...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
