So I apparent have an optima red top (8004-003 34/78)
Specs are:
CCA - 800
CA - 1000
RC - 110
Based on Optimas site it notes I need (8020-164 35)
Cold Cranking Amps: 720
Cranking Amps: 910
RC - 100
Seems like it's compatible but wanted some other opinions, thanks

Counterpoint:
My bigger passion is my 29 year old pickup truck and off-roading, which really taxes a battery when you have winching, plus a kick-*** stereo. I had an Optima red-top in my truck until last fall, when it died after 15 years. Based on the reviews of the current Optimas, I would not buy another one. Sears Die-Hard Platinum is the way to go now, they are a re-badged Odyssey, and provides 950 CCA (group 34/78). Very nice battery.
