I brought a new rebuild to the alt shop near me and they turned 120a to 220a. Plus a big 3 upgrade with 1awg pure copper welding cable. My battery is an optima yellow top dual post. I forgot the model but its the best one they had. Thanks to those upgrade i cant get voltage drop if i try...and ive tried lol

Excuse me gentlemen. May I be so crass as to ask, "why do you need so much power?" Are you trying to run a transmitter or something?

sorry to dig up an old thread, but qustion a; can you fit a renix area internal regulated alt into a 95 without a lot of fuss? I do not care about codes

second, i had hard traced my alt output wire all the way to the firewall where it goes into the junction block, how would you upgrade that to 1 gauge or so? no way to I see, mines a 95 though and later or eralier years may be different
