I ordered my Singer through mylows a few weeks ago. I would personally go through Singer simply because of the honored lifetime warranty.
find out hot idle and max output/RPM for both alts.
Personally I'd go with DC Power as I've seen too many issues from the two companies you're looking at. Warranty means little to me when my alts have been going strong for 7 years on the daily and 4 years on the demo set up.

I have emailed mechman asking for all the specs and Singer again. The 220a from singer does 140a at idle cold and 130a hot. I do not know the max yet.
I am also wondering for anyone that can answer my how many ah worth of batts can these alts run and how many do you think I will need for my upgrades I plan to do mentioned in the first post? I already have about 350ah in batts

Okay so mechman said on the 240a
120 amps @ 200 degrees @ 800 rpm engine speed
220 amps @ 200 degrees @ 2000 rpm engine speed
So if the singer is anywhere close to that which I think it will since I already know that hot idle on the singer 220a is 130 I will get the singer
120 amps @ 200 degrees @ 800 rpm engine speed
220 amps @ 200 degrees @ 2000 rpm engine speed

So since I was wanting something bigger than a 220a alt Michael over at Singer took the time to and found anther casing with better power options that will hopefully fit. He said this will be the first casing he has sold of this model to try and go on the car I have. He has worked with me and answered all the questions I have had for the last couple of weeks through emails. So far I have had a great experience with Singer and he said if I cant get it to fit he will let me return it. I am hoping it is going to work out so as I speak I have a 280a alt getting ready to be built.

Has the CS improved since I last bought a DC? I waited over a month and a half for mine. And has the quality of the Mechman alts took a dump since I last bought from them? In in the market for a new alt. And a box.
CS does seem better at DC, depending on alt/vehicle of course. GM and some Ford stuff they get out quick, imports not so fast.
Few of the guys in the group have had mechmans randomly start spiking voltage very high which also took out a few BIG amps....

come get some!!
I will vote for Singer. Awesome customer support pretty much any color powder coating you want and of coarse the warranty.
