look into excessive amperage for your alt.

and on a budget there isnt much that will beat out a deka. hit up bad 4 health about those.

My DB Electrical alt has done me well, and they don't break the bank either. With the electrical in my sig I can run my Cactus K5 with little to no drop.

I just looked and if you have a 2.0 it's 230 for a 220a alt and if you have the 1.8 it's 200 for a 200a alt.

I didn't have much to spend when my stock alt went out so I bought my DB because it was something like 290 and it hasn't let me down yet.

I went with XS when they were doing the group buy and they haven't let me down yet. Nathan told me I could run about 7.5k daily on my current electrical. If you're willing to spend the money and go with XS I would, but otherwise look into Deka if you wanna save a little money, or Shuriken and Kinetik if you wanna spend around 200. What group size is your stock battery?
