[The Architect]

i was running two amps and a cap for the longest time with no problems off the stock alt. So long as you're not an ass to your electrical system and monitor voltage the stock electrical will be fine up to around 1000 watts.

As for leaving things plugged in for extended periods of time that draw 12v...dont although Im not sure how youre doing that with the keys out and engine off.

The alt isnt meant to be a battery charger, its a maintainer at best so if anything were to drain the bttery to any worthwhile point and every time you drove the alt had to do extra work then over time this would possibly cause problems.

Here's what sqcomp was quoted from iraggi not very long ago and these prices are pretty good for a quality product.

I just received a whole pricing list from Iraggi:

"Direct bolt on. Same housing as factory.
160 $379
180 $399

Iraggi modded alt. We modify mounting ears to have the same mtg points as factory. Will bolt up almost exactly like factory. This is the one everyone has been doing.

200 $459
220 $479
240 $499
260 $519
280 $539
300 $559"
