I'm buying a 200 amp alternator for my car, and will also be doing the "big 3." if i do not upgrade to an optima yellow top right away and use the stock battery for a month or two, would it die quick or cause complications, or would it be fine?(would rather spend money on mdf instead of a battery first so i can start bumping //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif )

^yea. basically when u turn on the car it will be getting more amps from the alt. If anything it will take you longer to kill battery on ur car cuz the alt will basically be handling most of the load when the car is on.

a 200 amp alt will *easily* run the car all day.
