mjhcobra MJ google PAperformance or M.A.D. alts.. They both set kits for running higher amp Alts. Here's the problem, If you are running an amp meter in the dash, a 70 amp alt is the max output that is save to run. You should convert from an amp meter to a volt meter. The insolators melt and getting hit with high charging loads. I have gone from a 70 amp setup to 100 with the PA kit. You also need a heavy charging cable from Alt output to battery terminal. They have a kit with a maxie fuse in 125,150,175, or 200 amps This will protect the wiring harness from a short on the pos side. SW has a volt gauge I am using. the only thing I don't like is it's colored. Smith gauges may sell a orginial looking voltage gauge. When you replace the amp gauge just connect the to cables togeather and add a wire for the voltage gauge (pos side) add a ground wire and you are set. PA sells a voltage regulator that connects to where the old one was to keep the orignial look. I am not sure what it does except turn on the regulator inside the Alt. I am running, 2 fuel pumps, 3 coolant fans, ECU, 3 blower fans, and MSD ignition system. At idle the 70 amp alt output is only about 35-38 amps and kills the battery over time. There are some other threads here about charging problems and meters for measuring volts or amps. Rick L.
