trjohnst Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 So i've been checking my amp voltage, and it seems to get a steady 14.4 Volts with my big 3 finished up. Is this good or does it need to be upgraded so that I can get 14.7 volts? I just got my alternator put back on (stock 80 Amp) and I am running at 14.4 volts without a strong load on it. If I do need to upgrade, what would be a good way to do it? I don't want to put a HO alt on this car because it wont last much longer and I dont want to waste money. Yes I understand that I could ruin the one I have and have to spend more money on another one, but I have a lifetime warranty on this one and can replace it whenever I want when it goes out, for free.

dohckiller808 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Voltage don't mean much if it doesn't hold the amphrage. What you are dropping to under load what you should be after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trjohnst Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Full tilt as in test it while it is playing with a heavy load and check the lowest number the voltage gets?
