[QUOTE="ObTechAudio, post: 8517278, member: 660912"] As you can see in the vid, the alts and belt work just fine at idle. However, once a load is put on the belt, the bushings that came with our alt kit essentially lock up and cause the engine to excessively bog - much much more than your average bog. The biggest issue is that when the bushings seize, the belt just spins and gets stupid hot - to the point where the belt smokes under the hood making it look like something is on fire. So to avoid any severe issues, we'd give demos on batt power and then start the car and let the alts charge up the batts for about 10 minutes. The alts charged up our depleted bank of 15 group 31s within seconds. Alts are strong as hell. We just need to swap bushings for different idler pulleys and tensioners.
