Pulley plus a fan switch at the track lead mine to a early death 
When did your alternator die?
When did your alternator die? I have 44K on my stock one and I think it is on its way out. It is cranking over for like 3 seconds before it starts. I hear this is within the alternator death window for the LS1s.

Re: When did your alternator die? Any change in the volt meter?
I would agree that the battery will be likely to go long before the alternator.
I would load test the battery before buying a new alternator...

Re: When did your alternator die? Thanks for telling us what the starter does. The car cranks fine for about 3 seconds before firing up. The car has a Walboro 340, ASP pulley, 1000 watt amp with a farad cap and an optima yellow top battery. The battery has about 3 yrs on it. So after the obvious was thought of, maybe the fuel pump isn't keeping pressure in the system after the car is off and I am cranking 3 seconds to build up the fuel pressure. I have noticed the car has been running at 13v since the ASP pulley 2 months ago. This is down from a little above 14v before. The reason I am asking is because a friend had an alternator crap out on him suddenly and he has comprable mods and miles.

ROFL . . . seriously though, I think you have plenty of time left on both your alternator and starter. They both last roughly 100,000 miles. The battery on the other hand is gettng old, but maybe not in Florida. Here in Utah with the hot/cold 3 years is about it. I'd check on fuel delivery.
