[QUOTE="gckless, post: 7937194, member: 635756"] Yeah, unfortunately electrical is costly, but necessary. If you can get a bigger one, might as well go for it if it's only a few bucks more. But I think you should probably be fine with that, and get the biggest battery you can under the hood. You may not need a second. Definitely buy a voltage meter, it will help a lot, and watch the volume knob close when you first bump it the first couple times. FWIW, I have a 270A alt with a Yellowtop under the hood running a DC 2.0k and a 175.4. Even at idle, I VERY rarely see my batteries resting voltage. Give it some RPM's, and I rarely see below 13.6V.
