Just remember I will not lye down to anyone and you beat me fair and square. That just goes to show that hard work and dedication does pay off!! All of you that are new to this please take a page from Muhammeds work ethic!! Muhammed is Da Man!! Hahahaha

I was wondering when someone was going to suggest Powermaster.

I'll never suggest PowerMaster. I bought an alternator from them 6+ years ago. It died within 6 months, come to find out, it wasn't putting out anywhere NEAR it's rated amperage. Returned it and it took OVER 2 YEARS to get a refund...2 FRIGGIN' YEARS!

Kinetic and Xtatic are both big supporters of USACI...

Kinetic had a great presence this year...our Team has some Batcap strings we can pull. So either are good. I just like Eric and the guys at Kinetic.

Its cold as hell here in Wisconsin and its snowing almost everyday. I have two yellowtop batteries on a relay that switches the rear battery off so theres no drainage. After my car sat for only three days both off my batteries were completely drained. Almost no voltage. The factory battery never got this low. Im seriously thinking of switching batteries. Im hoping I dont have a bad cell but this has happened before with yellowtops...where it gets cold and the batteries drain. Whats a good battery to go with?

Are those the recent yellowtops or old ones.Cause the new ones suck. I did not have any problems with my powermaster xs. It's totally up to U,I would suggest the d1200.

I did before betore but it got deleted by ralph, because they are not a supporter of USACI

Oh boy.

50% of the turbo Buick guys use Powermaster altenators when upgrading...many have had problems...but in their defense, our cars are very picky to "charge fields".
