Alternator upgrade ??s

tooslow said
I have a BB 512 with MSD ,elec fuel pump, Fans , ect... Running the stock 65 amp with external regulator
Is there a simple Alt upgrade to 125 amps and LOW RPM CHARGING (my issue)
I see POWERBASTARDS has a 140 amp for 350 dollars . Can a stock external regulator handle 140 amps ?
Is a One Wire a good option ?

For what it's worth, I just upgraded to the black version of this one and I absolutely love it. Chrysler 1 Wire Alternator, 100 Amp, Chrome Plated V-Belt Pulley

CVF warranties thier accessories for life. Have had awesome luck with them, and I own 2 of thier systems.

I had a "140 amp" Tuff stuff that never charged at idle, even after sending back years ago to exchange/rework. It was a 1 wire. Full disclosure I did have it probably 8 years, but it never charged at idle, and recently burned up its internal regulator and took my battery with it.

The cvf is only marketed as a 100 amp, however i can tell you with an a2000 fuel pump, elec water pump, and 2 big SPAL fans all on, this baby will idle at 900, and still put out 13v+. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
