DC Power and Mechman are generally what's run on here. I've got a DC personally and love it but they can be slow to fill orders.

I got mine in about 3 weeks IIRC, others have been slower, some have been faster, I think it just depends on how busy they are.

knukonceptz.com also sells some alts, they don't have the greatest selection but if you drive an american car they probably have one for you and some of the prices are very reasonable.

Yeah that would work pretty well with a couple decent batteries. That seems a little cheap for that much power though, I'd be worried about it actually outputting that much and what it does at idle.

i've already gota group 31 deka, should i get another or pay more for a bigger alt?

For 2600w your going to want both. I would use at least 2 good batts, and a good alt. 3 would be ideal though.
