Nickvb6 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 What did you test it with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescorpio1 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 what rpm did you test at? you get full power at about 2000 rpm. hook a digital multi meter up to the positive sourse of your alt and the chassis of the car and test at 2000 rpm. See what you get. Quote Loud as f*ck, and sounds good doing it. Team built from here on out!!!! BIG things to come......... Missing link is the shite!!!

treossi Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 did you take it off and test it at autozone, if you did, that test doesn't mean shit, since that tester only spins up to 3500 alternator rpm, (not engine rpm) and if they used they're vat type tester they probably hooked it up wrong, they did that to me, i just laughed Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechSys Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Autozone can't test h.o alts worth a crap. Just about any auto parts store can't.
