13.8-1 is a good amount of compression, that 398 cca is going to be hurting

Good thing it isn't carbureted, a few cranks without it firing right up that thing would be dead.

I honestly can't tell you how it would work out on a motor with that compression. If you search this site, there are a few people using it with LS1s.

I think everyone might be caught up in the rated amount of the battery. The PC680 is this websites battery of choice for both LS1 and LT1 and it has a rating of 220CCA, yet gets the job done fine.

I have run the PC680 for over a year. My car sits all the time and always starts. It is easy to kill the batt though. I had my interior lights for maybe 30mins and had to jump the car off. It may be because I dont drive the cra that much to recharge the batt.
