[QUOTE="SelfFabInetLore, post: 8269893, member: 661326"] A really good deal on an alt. might just be a rebuilt, thats what pro shops do, just add more copper or something. A capicitor is for big base hits so that the lights don't dim and are cheep at the lower powered end, if thats all you need, but if the battery is dieing or your car starts hard an upgraded alt.is your solution. Now keep in mind 'loosely quoted from amazon i think' a larger alternater will often be worse a idle and need to be run at driveing speed to really produce much of a big gain. Not sure but think of a red line honda® running at 6k rpms constantly or a dodge viper™ that tops out at 5k rpms, theres a speed voltage conversion. Looks like a great deal, because like I said, alt.s can be rebuilt cheeping the price of new, that one only fits certian suvs, a harder sell, I mean who wants unsold parts getting older takeing up space. The best I have seen are 250$s and they are for compation systems or RVS that put out 200 to 250 volts but only at highway speeds. So at half the price seems right. [/QUOTE]
