Think my new alt is not up to par. Or am i just expecting to much form what i have.

So they do they or don't they vent under normal use?

They shouldn't if it's a well made battery, doesn't mean they won't.

You also have to remember that lots of people have theitr vehicles set to charge higher than the 14.4 that's recommended for these types of Batts too.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Yes, espesially if you're charging at too high of a voltage for based on the temp of the battery. Example, I had AGM's venteing bad last summer. My alt, even when hot charges at 14.8v which is not good when the batteries are 120+ degrees and the terminals are 130+ degrees.

High voltage and heat is probably something most people dont think about because most alts drop voltage when hot.

i see no problem going on there what so ever..... if you want a BIT more help at idle add reserve. I have no clue why your worried. :unknw:

My problem is idle output, I don't like dropping into 11s with my new 300 amp alt when,my factory alt would hold voltage about the same at idle, I now see my problems and will do what I need to to be happy and fix them. Going to take out the batcap, put in a big agm, and so a few runs of good wire

Add another alt or 2 if you want good idle voltage. Like 3 alts that will do 200+ amps at idle.

I'm with kyle,

Everything looks like a non issue to me.

thats exaclty what i thought. youre alt can definitely suffer from that, without full belt coverage it may not get proper grip, im no alt expert but ive definitely heard them say you want the same pulley width, usually they will match it to your car.

No expert here on alts either but never heard that before. Singer made my alt and i have the same issue but doesn't seem to affect voltage out put in my system. Tight belt is a tight belt in my mind. But i could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time. lol
