Which Battery for a B16 hatch?

Hey all

Ideally, I'd like to switch my '91 Si AEM CAI for a '99/'00 Si AEM Short Ram, but my current battery is preventing that (no room for the filter). My battery is dying so now would be a good time to get a battery that will allow me some room for the SRI.

I'd appreciate any info or experience you guys have with this kind of set-up. I will not be relocating the battery to the back of the car.

Cheers

I live in Boston, are 280 CCA's enough to start a B16a on a typical New England winter morning?

thats what i use...and thats were i got mine!

once it get into the 30s it starts to crank over a little slower, but i dont drive my car in the winter so i dont know how well it will start in the below zero weather.

get two, and wire them in series!

putting 2 in defeats the whole purpose of buying the hawker. weight savings....

I am running a Honda Goldwing battery in my B16 with CTR pistons. It has no trouble cranking over the 11:1 compression.
