Just installed an Optima Red Top and a 200 amp alternator. Figured I post some pics of the alternator since there doesn't seem to be many pics posted.
No more dropping of the volt meter since the alternator upgrade. One thing I did notice is the new alternator has one less mounting boss. The bolt that holds from the back is not used. Also, the plastic air duct looking piece on the stock one won't fit due to the larger electronics. The stock alternator looks puny in comparison.

$280 plus shipping. It comes with a 2 year warranty which is better than most aftermarket HO alternators.

I was looking for a 200 amp alternator from a reputable company and could not find one. I ended up with a Powermaster 150 amp alternator. Works like a champ.

PM me also on the thing, as I'm running a little PC680 battery, and this might be a good idea.

Thanks.

That's right. Each alternator comes with a birth sheet or dyno record. My alternator data says it puts out 137 amps at an engine rpm of 833 and 175 amps at 1000 rpm. It has a peak output of 245 amps at 2888 rpm. PM's sent to those that requested it.
