099 is about the biggest without modding the tray.
This will give you depending on which battery type/make it is between 650 and 750 CCA, and will be around 75ah, the std one by comparison will be around 44ah and 350 CCA.
I did once fit a 1000 CCA to my old sierra, but had to cut battery tray as battery was around 6" longer than tray!!
If you want ultimate performance go for GEL, or AGM as a lot call them, but it will cost around £150, if going for a regular type battery I would recommend the Varta Blue, a lot of battery for the money.
