Were glad to have you and a lot has changed in 13 years, so have fun here and read up because this forum is packed with information and other people running some very large systems.

I can help but laugh though at "the site will be up in a few weeks". Same shit they told me when I talked to them.... June of 2012.

Same thing they told people summer of '13.

leaning towards an excessive amperage, talked to someone i used to regularly compete against and he has 1 and is happy with it.

to really get down to the base question here like the thread topic says........

When you get a quote from one of those alternator companies, they should be able to tell you how many amp's it should be putting out at idle levels. When I got a quote for my Singer alternator he advised me how much I would gain at idle compared to my stock alternator. I'd suggest asking Ohio Generator what theirs is rated for at idle.

Well, if you are wanting to know if Ohio Generator's the best choice, i'd call them back and get the answer. Then compare it to other quotes to see how they do against the competition. None of us are going to be able to answer your question. Even if others used Ohio Generator in this forum, they most likely don't have the same exact alternator you are looking for. As mentioned earlier, you can get all kinds of alternators from the same company.

Here is some info on 6 phase alternators:

After some searching i found someone on another forum that had posted the benchmark sheet that comes with all ohio alternators for the ford 3 g 275 amp alt (the model i am considering is 300 amps but same application)

thought id post it here to kinda end this thread and answer my own question. the 92 5.0 motor I have has a crank pulley 6 inches in diameter and both of these alts have 2 inch pulleys( I believe,not 100% sure on the dc) so you divide the alternator rpms on bench sheets by 3 to get the output at the respectable engine rpms

I believe my car is idling around the 800 rpm range currently but It is very easy to bump these idles up and I will prolly raise it to 1k rpms when i get a high output model in there

20130407015440.jpg

Here we have over 300 amps at 2 k engine rpms on the ohio with a very nice 259 amps at 1k engine rpms and this is the 275 amp variation (i suspect the 300 amp will do even better)

And here we have the biggest alternator available by dc power for the ford large case 3 g application

270-XP.png

As we can see here the dc power is doing a very nice 233 amps at 1 k engine rpms and a very respectable 263 amps at 2k engine rpms

both very nice. the ohio is 3 digits cheaper then the dc power.

I think i have made my decision on which alt to run.

Appreciate everyones input on my thread thanks alot guys!
