Got Me An OPTIMA BLACKTOP!!!!

Not Really...

Just slightly modified a Yellowtop to blend in a bit better... ( I hate Yellow )

Just a good bored to the death mod...

I'm gonna be an idiot and ask what the lil pinkish purple ZEX box is. BTW, very nice, flows with the engine better. Do those batteries really perform better?

That "blacktop" looks clean. I like it. I"m guessing that is paint right?

I'm as white suburban as they come... LoL... Just a BSP fan and try to keep everything as clean as possible... The Battery actually weight much more.. which sucks, but I'm planning on adding 1200 watts to the back, so I need something a little more rugged than my stock... my strobes also drain the heck out of my stock battery at shows as well, so I was hoping for a little more life out of this one...

Above is right... The purple box is the ZEX industries Nitrous Control Setup...

What model number does our car take from optima. I tried running a search on their website and they don't recommend anything for the tC. Also wear did you buy yours- online, parts store?

same here, I've heard that the Yellow's are only good for shows where you need to keep audio on with car off. I need some sort of upgarde though because my stock battery is dying on me already and Im going to be adding tv's soon... any take on the Yellow's?

Still Died.... but lasted 8 hours with everything going at 106 degrees... so... better than stock I'd guess... had to get jumped and idled for about 30 and was good to go for the other 3-4...

They liked it at the show...well, as part of the whole... came away with 4 trophies.

I searched for it here somewhere.... try the words optima size tc in the search forum... the yellow top is more audio focused, the red top is more starting in all temps/conditions focused.
