The most cranking amps you can find in the right battery size

The dry cell batteries (like Optima) would be great for you because they are vibration resistant (unlike normal batteries) and I'm sure you car vibrates the hell outta stuff with the cams its got

Also, as Im sure you know, as starters get hotter they draw more amps - 700 CCA is ALOT, but its not alot for a 12.5:1 stroked motor

you could also install a timing retard for starting up the motor that will make it easier to crank over. MSD has them I believe.
Another option is to go for a 16 volt racing battery just for the starter and keep a 12 volt for everything else. Or you could hook up 2 12 volts in series to get 24 volts for the starter only and run only one battery for the rest of the electrical circuits.
