pontformulalt1 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 This Is a short clip of my first experience with a h/o upgraded alt. Biggest Is not always better. In my case I can compromise racing my engine because I have another car that I can do that in minus the hundreds of pounds of audio equipment that I have...the point of this video is to really consider the turn-on speed of a high output alt....will it suit your everyday driver or is it a weekend driver built for demos??? Most likely if its a daily driver you will be better off going with a lower amp version alt. For better idle performance...my 320a will smack you in the face with its higher r.p.m. output but it is not recommended for a daily driver....at least not a 5.7 with a 7inch.

Bari87 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks for the video man! The turn-on rpm / idle output is a very important thing. You are right that bigger are not automaticly better. I have also "only" a 180A/200A HO Singer (stock 90A) with stock pulley. Since there is no speed limit here, its good to can drive with >155mph and dont need to worry about the alternator. Optima is good choice, have it too.

pdx94z28 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 That's good to know as I am about to upgrade my alt in my lt1 camaro. Considering my red line is 7k, and I idle at 700.
