Too bad, the 850 was a solid alternative.  You can get 720-750 CCA agm batteries from pretty much anyone tho.
I just bought a 850 last Tuesday for the 94 f150

So my neighbor drives by my house and I'm outside... he is in an Audi TT that has some work done but not much... and proceeds to tell me how fast it is, etc etc... it's an older Audi with 150K miles on it...

I'm going along with it, he is excited so I do the polite conversation bit... congrats, sounds good, they handle well, etc etc...

He then tells me it would "Leave your Taurus in the dust!" then goes on about how he knows I go to the track, which tracks I go to..to call him next time I go so he can show me how fast these Audi's are...

I am like..Hold the damn phone... wait what huh?

So I politely tell him it would probably be a good race, who knows...trying to deflect... He is my neighbor, usually a nice guy.. not trying to stir the pot further...

He himhaws about "there is no way"... so I tell him to park his German car and let me take him for a ride...

Needless to say.... his posturing about going to the track to show me how much faster his Audi is quickly dissipated...

The resulting "Holy Sh!t!" that expelled from his mouth when I punched it was worth the gas for sure...

You did him a big favor , saving of the embarrassment at the track and his own gas money. His car maybe on a good day would be a mid 13 second car unless there's some serious work done LOL

you should have had him on the hook for a case of beer and found a long deserted road..... make sure your trunk was empty before the race. This gives you plenty of room to haul his ego home.

I drive other cars from time to time. They are quick. Then the other day I had the wife out in the AJP E30 tuned 2015. Floored it at a light change intersection thingy since it was actually warmish pavement. Tires were warm. Cool temp but the sun was out in full force. She Went "Holy Crap!. It wasnt like this when we bought it".  I didn't know she was that observant.

NO NO NO NO! NO MERCY AT THE END OF THE BLADE!  People like that need the GAP BAND played for them. Should have lined them up, and drove straight out of his life.

All day, it is the tq that is really amazing.

Most SHO's stock put out 300/300 to the tire correct?  Mine K&N Filter and colder plugs put 391/470.

So +91 hp and +170 tq just with the E30 tune.
