its not that expensive because it's not that good

stock alternator's are 70 amps, so that's not that big of an upgrade. The ones that are $350 are like 270 amps or above type thing

well first off the bolt application is just about different for every car and engine... ya have to match up the right one for the job...

and the largest honda alt ive seen are like 170amps..... thats just the largest that will fit on these little motors....

one thing i miss about my system that i had in my truck... very easy to slap on a 250amp alt with no modifications at all!

i dont see it hurting it that bad if any......

when ever i get enough cash to upgrade i might do a road trip around indianapolis before and after to check milage.LOL

but i dont see it making a big difference at all.
with any system i dont care who you are but bumping your stuff fullblast and needing that HIGHpower alt to realy be pumpen out high power.... well its just not for a daily thing.....i dont bump mine that loud all the time so i dont see a big difference happening! or at least even being able to notice it!
