[QUOTE="2DXTRM, post: 16087311, member: 76471"] What year is your car? Is the stuff installed in the car already? Is your current alternator keeping up? (measure voltage, or watch for signs such as: flickering lights, surging etc under load = headlights on, heater/ac on etc) There is a little science behind these high AMP alternators, and a lot of people get caught up in the marketing and dish out more $ then they need to. (Just like every other things thats marketed in the automotive performance/enthusiast world). Stock alternators are rated at 130Amps. Anything more than 150AMP upgrade will more than likey require wiring upgrades as well, depending on the loads/demands put on the alternator.
