i had a ford reman and my electrical system has dual 320lph pumps (either 320 or 340), id1000s, a couple gauges (aeroforce with boost and oil psi, innovate dual wideband, J&S safeguard gauge) and a ~900 watt stereo. With the stereo at normal volumes just cruising around the stock alternator on my mach was putting out high 12s/low 13s so voltage at the battery was around 13.0-13.6. Ive been told anything under 13.0 is really not good with the aftermarket fuel system so I upgraded. I bought a 200 amp from J2Fab with wiring upgrade. I now see 13.8 and up so 14.1-14.4 at the battery
