Thanks on the tip about the alternator! I never thought of that- upgrading to the AD244 is on my list, so that is something I should get done first.
looks really clean in there without the fan shroud and fan blade- did you notice any performance gain? (in other words, was it worth all the work?)
I'll have to look for an LS1 or a Mark VIII in the local yard.
But then again, you'll have more juice. If you just went to big alternator, didn't change anything else you would lose hp, this way you'll gain some and have more electrical chartging power. They go hand in hand, it looks like.i did notice a improvement. may not be horsepower but it felt more "snappier" when flooring it. it may be because i have a v6 and it needs all the help it can but it was worth it. now if i were to pay $300+ i'd say no. also the added benefit of cooler ac when sitting still is good , however, that doesn't affect me as mine hasn't worked for 4+ years.
oo and one more thing. don't use fuses, instead use circuit breakers you can buy at the parts store as they auto reset when they cool down so you dont have to replace fuses. there only like $3 a piece. for a while i was running on 1 fan before i noticed a bad fuse. it keep it cool enough but its just something that sits in the back of your mind.
