[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 5717250, member: 584344"] The inherit problem with this two alternator idea is that you might need a tensioner. The alternator works by being spun the a belt which is run by your crankshaft. If there's not enough tension around the alternator's pulley, then it will not spin, thus, making all the work pointless. Not to mention, fitting another alternator under your hood is pretty difficult. That's why dual alternator builds are rare, and only kept to the high end builds. It can be done, but you need a lot of fabrication work done. In all, between the fab work and the alternator, the price will run you about the same as a H.O. alternator. [/QUOTE]
