Heres the thing. most of the people who are oging to cheap out and buy a bargain bin alternator are not going to really know what the hell they are doing. They can't test it. They won't clamp it. they will be wowed by their alt that cost half as much as a mechman or dc or an ohio gen and does just as good a job., (gag gag gag) They wont realize its more placebo than performance. Think of this. You can't buy a stock alt for that much.
