16v is what you need
You beat me to that one. Definately the 16 volt system. Thats the way to go. The optima battery is only good if you flip the car over...It won't leak

Hmmm I had the same optima red top in my Dodge for 6 years, never had any probablems. The Nova has the a red top also, no problems so far (both cars had over 11.5/1 comp). Be carefull if you put a 16 volt system in the car, they tend to charge at around 18 volts, things like headlights and such don't last too long, they are great on a race only car though,also DO NOT ever jump start a 16 volt system with a 12 volt ECU controlled car, it can kill the computor in an instant.

I didn't think of that. I was just trying to solve the starting problem. (Thinking of the R/S car)

Don't they have a high torque starter out there some where?

I like the new gel type. maybe thats the same as a dry battery.
