I need an alt; acessories to it? what to look for?

[cloud77]

I need an alternator for my '04 grand prix GT. I was looking for a 220-300 Amp choice to keep my electrical up to par. I have 2 XS power d975 (one front one back), big 3 wiring, but my long run is done by knu CCA and most wiring is CCA.
(except for some big 3 strands and such)

I am only running near 2k, but would having a strand of OFC 1/0 to my front to rear battery and perhaps another run of ground sufficiently make a difference? My amp only draws 150 A at max.

In case I want to run 3k in the future, I would comfortably want a 250 - 300 A alt and upgrade my battery bank. What alt should I go with? I am really looking for something within the price range of 350-450$

Has anyone ever used stock case sized rebuilt alts and had good results?

Try and get quotes from DC power, mechman, or singer. They all make a quality product that will fit your needs. You might have to come up on the amount you are willing to spend though.

i called about a 240 amp alt for my charger and mechman quoted me $399 plus shipping so i would say if you want 250 at leats your going to spend 300+
