[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8842995, member: 674149"] That's what I would do, even 500 would still be plenty safe with a short 2/0. If its your first time, you can always test it out. Turn your AC on, your stereo on full, all lights and make sure you are draining your electrical as much as you can, and cruising at an RPM high enough where you are charging at full rpm needed. Give it a go for 30 minutes or so. Then check it out if you don't see the battery dropping. That or throw a couple 400 in the glove box, or even a 500 and you wouldn't even have to turn the stereo off to get you back going. Anyone who sells a quality 370 alt should be able to tell you exact amperage to expect. I'll bet it's within 1%. [/QUOTE]
