Racing battery....
Quick battery question, would this be any good for a sylva striker.
Currently has a crossflow which will turn into a zetec or similar at some point....

Don't know anything about that one but for that price you could get an Odyssey racing battery (and probably a Varley) and they are good, start
my Zetec first time, every time.

Good buy at that price, just make sure it's big enough to crank your engine (i.e check the cranking amps you're looking for over 180, 200+
is better)

you should be fine. the spec says:
31Amp/hr, 475CCA
when i had my 200sx i had a varley redtop powering it. that had 625CCA i believe. it actually made it crank over quicker than what the original
battery did

I always had 19 Amp/hr bike batteries on my Striker with a 4AGE so that should be fine.

The engines compression and flywheel play quite a large part in starting.
More compression makes it harder, bigger flywheel makes it easier.
Turbo charged should be easier (as low comp).
