I was being serious. My 427ci, with an underdrive crank pulley, A/C blasting, headlights on at night, and my 1,000 watt amp with my 12" woofer cranking...at idle....is perfect. I have a PepBoys alternator, stock OEM output. My volts never budge, never drop, nothing gets dim. Perfect no matter what I do.

If your charging system is healthy, stock size can do it all.
