Batteries aren't too big a deal, I have a Goldtop Durralast... 65amp. As for wires, yeah Nology is the shit.

kind of topic but what are breather filters purpose. do they benefit anything, i know the cancel out that hose that leads into the intake, on our engines anyways.

but to the topic at hand, optima are the best batteries and there so lightweight and MSD or Nololgy are probaly the way to go with wires.

blue is marine, get a yellow or red top, they yellow has side posts that you can hook up too, which is nice if you have a system, other than that, i think theyre both about the same

red Top im looking into, but there not cheap. As far as breather filters they dont do anything performance wise. They just let the oil in the valve cover area circulate. The output is normaly connected to the intake but people put them on for looks i guess. I have one but it doesnt do shit.

I ordered mine off ebay (yellow top) and shipped it was still cheaper than going to sears or advanced auto. Sounds like u definately want the red top though.
