My alternator puts out 150 amps at idle and 225-250 max. I want to get a amp gauge (52mm) to go on my A-Pillar, but they only go up to 60 amps. Do you think it will just stay at 60? or will it burn out the gauge? I think it would be cool to see it maxed out all the time lol. tell me what you guys think, thanks-
