[QUOTE="Saint211, post: 6822849, member: 564903"] Its tough to just guess but I had a car with a similar ac delco 105 amp alternator. My guess would be 60-80 amps at idle. Tough to say though because the ratio of power produced at idle and at peak isnt always linear. It depends on how the alternator is wound. For instance, if you have an alternator re-wound, it usually produced more power at peak and less at idle. What you have though should work fine as long as everything is wired correctly. I had a system of similar power in mine. One thing I would advise for your vehicle though is the big 3 upgrade. It helps A LOT on similar vehicles. When I had my corsica the big three upgrade raised my overall voltage by about 1.2 volts. [/QUOTE]
