If you've gotta use the Optimas (which are not that great of a battery at all) for your application, which is a deep cycle, you should get the yellow tops as they are deep cycle. The Reds aren't, and drawing them down much below about 3% from the top will really wreck havok on 'em.
You'd be much better off using Odyssey's..

Regarding the fan, you should also fab up a shroud. The shroud is a very important part of the cooling (air flow).
I've run the Flex-A-Lite's before, and while they draw a lot of air, they also sap a fair amount of engine power, even when they don't really have to.
If you're having overheating problems due to heavy loads, the flex fans can certainly help (with the use of a shroud), at the cost of some HP sap.

Glad you got back safe... I hear it takes about a mo. to get all the sand out of your shorts but I may be wrong LOL...

on that 3" inline filter check heavy/farm equipment suppliers... some of those tractors/machines use an inline air filter thingy...

Notice a loss of performance?

I wonder if there are any better ways to do the 180* bend with out shop vac hose. Anyone? Ricers have to have something.

Everyone is so concerned about "performance" and "opening up the intake" or "opening up the exhaust" without having much of a clue and fluid dynamics, especially velocity, turbulence, surface reversion, etc.
To see something like that corrugated hose in the setup, wow, talk up induced turbulence.
