[QUOTE="All_Logix, post: 7303536, member: 628274"] Reasons I would go aftermarket.... 1.) rewound alts are not designed with the right type of diode bridges, regulator switches, and generally as said before don't do well at idle. If you rewind an alternator, it will exponentially decrease the life of it. 2.) I dunno who told you that they could make it 300 amps but in a physical sense, but unless they are going to be replacing alot of the components in that stock alt, it shouldn't be able to do more than around 220 at very best. And lastly in the wold of heavy amp car audio, it is NEVER a bad idea to have two alternators because of the strain high end car audio will poss on the alternator, it is not uncommon for the HO alt to go out after about 2-4 years, at which point you can pop that stock back in and send the aftermarket in for warranty, and keep on driving from point a to b [/QUOTE]
