[QUOTE="80_Cutlass_mn, post: 369177, member: 545695"] Umm yea I think a 140 would suffice, untill nighttime came round and you had to run the a/c, heater, headlights, etc etc. then I think it would prolly be a good idea to turn it down unless your lights dont dim with all this running and with it hitting hard. When you get the 140 amp alternator turn on all of your electrical accessories, headlights on bright, a/c on coldest point, fan going wide open and then rev the engine to highway cruising speeds, say round 2500 for a 4 cylinder and 2000 for a v6 and then crank it up and see if your lights still dim if they do but only slightly, I would say that you are in the clear just as long as you dont keep it cranked way up all the time. But if they dont dim, I wouldnt worry about it, also I would find the biggest alternator I could find or see just how big I could rewind that one to just for the simple fact that I think the bigger the alternator the better lol. But thats just me personally. [/QUOTE]
