OK, MY street driven Scirocco needs to have its 23:1 motor spun at a
minimum of 250 rpm to start.  On top of that I need 60 amps for 10-15
seconds to heat up the prechambers before it turns over.  Whatever's
left of that 360 CCA (which on a 15AH battery probably isn't much)
wouldn't likely spin over the turbo, let alone the engine... :)
