Thanks everyone for your input. I ended up with the MC ToughMax 850. Sitting at dealership and he gave it to me for 140 installed. I was already in for maintenance.

Side note, they told me my battery had a bad cell and because the dealer who I bought it from installed it before I bought it that it wasnt covered under the warranty. Only if I bought it directly. Seem strange?

Seems like one of the finer points of warranty coverage.  But at least with this new battery you should have 100 month coverage )and free towing) because it was installed by the dealer.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Also on the bright side, I have owned a lot of batteries over the past 27 years of vehicle ownership and I rate MC, Interstate, and Yuasa as the best.
