[email protected] Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 With that much juice to a system I would get an aftermarket high output alternator like Iraggi or Mean Green, at least 200 amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb2big4u Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Heard bad things about iraggi and another company called excessive amperage. I would go dc power, mechman, mike singer. With a system like that you should deff look into atleast a second battery if not 3 total. You shouldn't see any performance loss in horsepower numbers if that's what you mean. HO alternator is the same just with better internals to give you more output. If any loss, its very minimal.

chawkins6789 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I have a DC Power Engineering 300 SPX alternator. 300 amps at about a cruising speed. I don't have electric fans but its on my list of things to do. I also only have a small system put usually have all 3 power ports in use and one running an inverter. It works pretty good and looks great Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from Rezound using Tapatalk 2 im more scared that the system will suck all the power and something will happens to the fans like a short or something. i drive from vegas to LA a lot and the last thing i need is my truck overheating on my way there. thats y im also thinking if i should put the electric fans on, nothing is wrong with the fans from my 03 i would just prefer the electric ones Heard bad things about iraggi and another company called excessive amperage.
