Matt -I think the yellow top is what you want for high drain stuff.
then again the red should work fine as long as you arent running anything riduclous like a winch.

By the Optima red top and buy it the CHEAPEST place you can find it as they are warrantied by anyone that sells them and someone local sells them for sure. Go to Optima's website and it'll show you the local dealers. Also make sure to get the spacer/adapter as they are smaller/shorter than other batteries and you might need it to make the OEM battery mount fit nice and snug.

Pep Boys won't have the 34r. You'll need to order. Also, you'll need to call Optima and have them send you the adapter as Brian said earlier. The 34r has reversed posts that are required for 3rd gens and even then it's tight getting the positive cable on. With the adapter in place, the battery fits great. A standard red top won't go unless you're ready to lengthen cables.
