im already on e85. Setting up a flex tune so i can run 91 too. I started up the car a few times this week with no issues. It should be fine, we'll see. Ive used the yellow top optima my last two batteries each lasting around 3-4years.
i like the drycell agm batteries since they cant leak. And especially with the battery being in the interior i like the safety of that. But not that any of my previous batteries leaked...
Did u tune it yet bro? 2200 which injectors? Ur 320 pump with 2200 injectors equals the sky is the limit. U have what in ur engine valves retainers and arp studs? Same headgasket?
Cool. I see the CCA (cold cranking amps) are high at 500. Whats the minimum CCA we'd want in our cars?
On a different note, could a bad negative lead cause intermittent power cuts randomly?
My OEM Honda battery was 320CCA from the factory. So really anything above that especially with a parasitic drag supercharger will be a plus. With my Comptech SC anything over 400CCA works well, however, when it was -10f here in Boston morning starts were tough so 450CCA and up is a big plus.
If you run a wet cell battery in the trunk, you should vent it to the outside. I"ve had several cars that had the battery in the trunk or under the rear seat and they were all vented to the outside. No acid smell or acidic fumes to eat the trunk or seat areas.
The only battery that comes to mind right now fits a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville 3.8L FI S/C Engine
Here is a DieHard Gold Automotive Battery 50879 - Group Size EP-79 840 CCA should spin any engine over. Sears.com
If you look at the pic's you can see the two tabs(one on each end on the top of the battery) to hook the vent hoses to.
If you vent the battery to the outside, no fumes or mess in the trunk. Do it once, Do it right.
I have a full size 34/78 optima yellow top, no problems I keep a maintainer (noco g7200) on the battery when the car in not in use. I had problems before with 4 gauge stereo wire, added 0 gauge power wire, added 4 gauge ground from battery to the block, 2 0 gauge grounds in the trunk. Seemed to do the trick.

Cool man. I've got a 364 I think CCA. so that's definitely above the OEM standard then. Should be covered even when I install my Vortech kit. Never gets that cold here where I live
I live In Bakersfield and on e85 requires a few more cranks to turn the engine over when it gets cold in the dessert winter months especially in the mornings

Every battery I've bought for my S(two so far) was a 500 CCA battery and that is for a battery the same size as the stock battery. I don't know what the CCA for a "stock original" battery was but why would Honda make a battery with less CCA than all the aftermarket battery makers make?
