It's enough, but if you get a 550CCA you wont drain your battery quickly, or wear out your starter motor and ring gear. The engine normally fires as soon as the starter pinion hits the ring gear. The lower CCA will turn the engine slower in a shorter time, if the engine doesn't fire up quickly. This leads to a heavier drain on the battery and more wear on the mechanical bits. All this is more pronounced in cold climates, which wouldn't be a problem for you!
