You'll be fine man. CCA/CA only effects the starting system. You could use a 12,000 CA battery and be fine. You can basically use any battery that fits.

As long as the battery fits the dimensions of the battery tray and has the proper terminal orientation, the specs don't matter too much. I believe SCs are 27F stock (I've never been able to confirm that) and 24F is a smaller form factor that works equally well.
