Singer> tenny imo.. as you probably noticed by now theres a chain you got dc an mech at the top and most $$ singer whos been in it for a while and is starting to get up there so getting little cheaper and tenny at the cheapest. Keep in mind with most of the alternator companies excluding dc an mech all theyre doing is rebuilding the same gm case. When you can buy the parts to make it a H/O for 100-200 depending what model of gm you have.

Personally, I run Tenney alternators in both my cars. Brent is a great guy to work with. Excellent work. Lifetime warranty. Pick your color. And for me... he's local. Alternator for my Camaro puts out 160a at idle, 240a at 1700 RPM. $300 and he brought it by my shop in 2 days. :woot:

think about why DC power alts costs more.

more abuse testing. more modifications. more custom fabrication work.

cheap alts are made with savings in mind. aka not the best materials.

edit: iirc dc power at one time bought a quarter million dollar machine to JUST temperature stress alts.
