• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    HO Alternator options?

    I need to get a HO alt for my GP [2005 N/A], but so far ive found nothing for our cars past ~140A, which is no where near enough. I need a minimum of 180A for the Amps alone, not to mention the power for the car itself, so im thinking around the ranges of 240A or so. Anyone have any ideas?
