You can also get a Delco off an RV they are 180amp
and are quite afordable.
Brunton Auto Electric in Campbellford ON can build the delco for you- 1-705 653 1116 is their Phone Number.

Well im gonna give some peeps calls tomorrow about this but what do ya think of this?

the only prob is the Output at idle is 95 amps

but this will fit no prob in my car...I guess the question should be every1 knowing my system how many amps in an alternator do i need? im not going to be blaring it all the time but if i wanna i want the power to be there
Thank you

general rule of thumb is 1/2 - 1/3 your amps collective maximum current draw...

^^the only problem with the cs-130 on e-bay is that it doesn't have an iceberg case,200 amps makes alot of heat!

the large case gm cs-144 should fit with minor tweek to the upper bracket(adjustment side)
