the short answer is yes...the next question is "how long will it take?"...

i just read what you posted on someone else's thread about making sure aftermarket alts put out enough at idle which i was also told by someone that was gonna tweak my stock alt to put out more power instead of buying one and it made me wonder...lol

rewinding a stocker isn't going to work for audio...we idle way too much. rewinding is for racing. Ohio gen and Powermaster (and Iraggi, but i haven't heard from him in a long time, last time I talked to Dom was over 2 years ago) alternators will typically make higher current at idle.

Wrong. I ran 6k off of a rewound alt. Just put a smaller pulley on it.

And batteries is where the idling comes into play. With a strong enough bank you'll be fine...

great way to burn out the windings and run out of juice at higher rpm
