I have been looking at these and wondering if I should go for it. They are backed with a year warranty and put out 160AMPS vs the standard Alternators that put out 70AMPS. I was thinking of getting it (if it seems like a good idea) and keeping mine as a back up just in case. What do you guys think? Has anyone bought one of these before?

Good point. I just;........... Ok, do your lights dim a bit when you are not accelerating and when you do step on it, they slightly light up? Or are you telling me I am going to have to check for voltage drop through out my whole car? I really don't want to.
