You are referring to cold cranking amps. The only battery that should fit your car that Pepboy's carries is an Energizer 51-R. (Unless you got the Optima.) It should have about 500 cold cranking ams. Maybe 610 cranking amps. The feeling you are experiencing is a mirage, like water in the desert. It's just the same as when you drove it with the OEM battery intact.

CCA or cold cranking amps has nothing to do with anything than just starting the car. The Alternator takes over after that. I have the stock battery in my car and it still works like a champ. It died once after sitting for 2 weeks with constant remote lock usage because I am anal like that.
