I dont want to pay his ass for work I can do myself, and he probabaly wont do as a good job! But I want one of his alternators and brackets!
From the reviews I have read, there are nothing but satisfied customers, and this includes some of the upper IASCA class people....I wouldn't worry too much about the quality of his product.

From what I understand, tell him your car, how many amps you want, and you get a package in the mail.

I have no clue where he is though, but he's helping people all over the place....let's keep this thread going and see what happens.

In response to Ricer Ray:

A capacitor is simply a bandaid to the problem....the alternator is the only part of your car that creates current, the battery, a capacitor, or even a batcap just store this power. Now a cap charges so quickly that it really won't be seen as a load to your charging system. The problem is that if you demand more amperage then you can create, you are always playing "catch-up" If you spend a few 100 on an alternator, you will have no need for a capacitor...basically it's doing it the right way the first time around.

It's kinda like trying to fight a small fire with two scenarios:

1. a small hose that provides a gallon a minute of flow, but you have a few buckets that you can fill then toss on as well.

OR

2. a large hose that provides 5 gallons of water a minute.....

which would you rather have if it was your house on fire. I know that's an oversimplified example, but you get the point.
