Dual battery or hi output alternator?

I thought I heard somewhere that you could have your stock alt beefed up or something, can anyone confirm that?

I have heard of it but I forgot who does it. It was a few years ago.

Tops out of the original 105 amp small case alts is 140 to 155. Anymore than that and they wear out very quick and can over heat. Above 140 to 155 you have to go to a large case that can put out up to 220 if I remember right.

You could get a dual or triple bracket and run 2-3 stock alts. The stock alts put out pretty good at idle. You could run 3 stock alts for the price of 1 ** alt and have WAY more output at idle. The stock alt is also cheap and reliable.

I would NOT have a factory alt hot wound or buy a rewound alt. You will be wasting your money as all of them I have seen put out less than the stock alt at idle and usually crap out quickly.

I have seen them on the old TBI motors but the Vortec I have not either.

Mechman makes a dual, tejcurrent can make a dual/tripple, but it might take a little longer. I have Troys bracket and its excellent. Hit him up and ask him, if enough of you guys want one, I know he will make it.

[/COLOR]Just spoke to Troy @ tejcurrent,
"will have one made up Monday or Tuesday for drivers, and next week for passengers. Maybe a few weeks after that on a production model, but it should roll out pretty quick."

So it is already in the works.
