replacing alternator? hey guys i was looking into replacing my alternator soon, i was wondering if anyone is running the FAST 140amp alternator and where can i get one at, i havent found a site that is selling them. thanks again
Never heard of the FAST alternator. I run a 160A alternator from Afterthoughts Auto - they are actually from Mr. Alternator - reputable hi amp alternator mfg. that has been in business for quite some time. The also have a 200A version that is not listed on the site.
Go here: 160A Alternator
There are powdercoating options for these also - I had mine powdercoated to look as if chrome

By looking at the pics and description of the FAST alternator it is NOT for LS1 - looks like version for older model GM cars.
I can attest that the one from Afterthoughts is the correct version. Simple install - remove old then install new. No xtra wiring or any other mumbo jumbo needed - it looks exactly like the stocker from the outside and installs exactly the same way. The internals have been upgraded to get the higher output amperage.
