That's a little to high for me I'm staying around the 400-500 range with good idle amps
U need to run a external regulator on that car with that motor.thats a extra 125 bucks ..if u dont when the computer shuts down to 3cyl mode the voltage will drop to 12.9. Fyi i run the mechman 240 in my 08 with the 3.9

did you switch the factory current sensor over to the new charging wire? its a little black plastic loop with a plug at the end its about the to four inches down from the pos on the starting battery. when i did the big3 my car was going into battery saver mode until i did that maybe that was your prob??
