Default Can a motorcycle battery start my 240?

I failed tech this weekend at the drags because of poor battery placement in the rear and I have to do a bunch of ---- to make it pass... I was told the easiest way was to just get a small battery and put it in front. I know they have little racing batteries but they're expensive. Could a motorcycle battery start my 240? What is a minimum amp level I should look for?

I've heard of people using those little motorboat batteries in their cars. The ones that weigh like 10 pounds

I have a odyssey Pc680 http://www.batterymart.com/battery.mv?p=ODY-PC680 in my car, and it starts everytime. I will drain for some reason, if I go on vacation and dont drive it for one week.
