What’s the go to when considering to install an alternator? Going through the lights around 7800 if that information is pertinent. Thank you all

I bought a House Of Payne Super Mini 16 volt alternator and a Philadelphia Racing Products bracket, could not be more pleased. No problems, perfect fit, excellent products that I would recommend to everyone.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Another vote for HOP. I recently started running this one because I don't have much room and it has been great. I ran a 55amp mini before and the Lightening has been 1/2 a volt better during a run.

I like/ use PowerMaster Alternators, and especially like the #47293. This puts out over 90 amps at idle on a 2-1 pulley ratio and is rated to 20k rpm. I prefer cog belts to V. I never charge the car battery at the track…NEVER!!

The belt and pulleys were more expensive than the Powermaster 47293 alternator on mine. I prefer this set-up



mem.....i never charge battery at track...never!!!!

The 140-amp replaced the same brand cheap 100-amp alternator & have as a spare. The 140 was needed after the install of the EFI & 3.5 gpm electric fuel pump.

While the hottest my car has gotten is 180* after the run in the Vegas daytime heat & most of the time it's between 160*-170*. The car is on gas by my choice. I have to run the water pump/Meziere 55 gpm & a 3,300 cfm electric fan when in the pits to bring my temps down to where I wish. The pump & Fan pull around 30+ amps. Hence the reason I always charge the car batteries at the track...ALWAYS!!
