what about getting one of the gel batterys or whatever they are?
there usually pretty small.think folk with lots of amps etc in the car usally use them lol but there about 200 quid
you can also get smaller race car ones i think but again shit on an everyday car that uses lots more stuff like lights air con bla bla bla

A traction battery is a battery specifically made to deliver very high current, will need to go to battery specialist to get one, they are used in things like electric forklifts, on average size for size they deliver 4 times the current of a car battery.
I used a 12AH one to start my mini all the time which was high compression 1430cc, no problem even in the dead of winter.

Traction batteries are for delivering sustained current over a long period (normally rated at the the five hour rate - C5). Starter batteries are designed for delivering very high current for a short period i.e. starting a cold engine.
A starter battery will be designed (internally) different to a traction battery due to above. The plates, separators and internal lead / pillar designs will be optimised for high draw and minimum voltage drop.
Thats not to say a traction battery will be shit for starting a car, just that (size for size) a starter battery will give you more umph
