yeah i have just one run from alt to bat, buts is only like a foot and a half and its 3/0 i also made the negative from the alt go to the chassis of the body with 3/0. so it should be pretty good, it sucks though becuase i cant get an upgraded alt. but im getting 2 yellow tops real soon

i have an 1987 nissan hardbody pickup, i phoned this alt shop i know and he said for that model, the only thing i could do is like put a seconde alt in. but that would put me in the wrong class. the alt i have right now is only putting out 60 amps. i asked the guy if he could rebuilt it for higher output but he said no =(

Even if you have to put in a 2nd alt, whats the big deal there? It will bump you up in IASCA but theres only a couple IASCA shows a year in BC anyway...and even if you get moved up theres still good competition in pro-stock. Sometimes the only way to really force yourself to get loud is to go against the big guns and get smoked a few times. I dont see how fun it is competing against high school kids who have pinched their pennies for years bagging groceries to buy a setup and see how loud it is.
