Just ordered the alt =)

Just ordered up my HO Alt from www.mechman.com =). This guy was referred to me by scottiej from powermaster and he has like every alt ya need and they are darn good prices. Got a 250 amp alt btw =). I guess they aren't like regular HO Alts that just get the windings replaced... they are actually like larger alts that fit into the stock locations and don't sag at low rpms like most HO's do.

Great guy and I would recommend him to anyone =)

THANKS SCOTTIE!

i know about that company as they are only 1 of 2 that can make an alt for my car.

They STILL output low at idle, but that depends on what your idle is.

If you idle below 750, then your idle output is only gonna be around 50A but if u get it up in the mid 800s, then their 250A alts start outputting in that low rpm range just over 100A.

They are nice, and rated hot by the way.

hmmm and what do you mean that they are rated hot?

Will do sir =)

rated hot as in AFTER heat loss...

I can say i have an alt that can do 300A but i may be referring to it's cold rating. If the alt is 83% efficient, then it's HOT rating is 250A, 50A is lost due to heat.

HOT rating is what you will actually get in the real world.

ahhhh i see sir... so 250 hot rating is good then =)
