I emailed them and asked once i recieve the alt I would test it and if it did not live up to the 200 amp at 1200 rpm could I return it for a full refund and shipping.

yep you can return it when it does not put out 200. I had mine tested it put out 150 then returned it. I got a refund but am out shipping money both ways. The local shop by my house made me a good one that hit 165 for about 165 dollars. 70 at idle DB electrical 45 at idle was advertised as 105 idle. LiLitaly got one he says is ok but he has a large case gm in his and the local shop here says they could make a nice 200 out of a large case. MY experience with DB was bad.
