The more Cold Cranking Amps the better. though I'd go with a Yellowtop, if money isnt an issue i think they should know about fitment and size. maybe trial and error process.

I got the red top and it is perfect. Just add a piece of wood underneath the battery and everything should be flushed with stock battery tie down.
