Perfect :D (now if all our members were this easy)

Damn hard without a trolly jack but can be done ;) About 18 nuts/bolts to undo and you're done.

:barf:

I was being "nice" ;) If the stock Alt isn't keeping up think of the drag then going to a larger capacity Alt = even more parasitic loss so in the end just how much of that "free power" is left to move the car?

Locust: Most Mk3 speedo's are a "rough guide" after 100 ;) (If you remember how hard it was revving I can tell you pretty close how fast you were going based on diff/tires/trans) Chris: Correct. It's not hard to install as long as your subframe isn't rusty/cracked. You're swapping in...

Might fit ok if ya ditch "The Rebuild" or move the text.

Chris: It'll take off fine just not as snappy as a stock 4.3 car.

That you Ric?

Nuh not in Sigs ;)

So you have a magic Mk3?

LSD and a lower Cruise RPM are good things Chris but it'll hurt the acceleration in 1st a bit. It's all a trade off.

Chris: 5800= 127 Fuzz: Not dissing the NA it's just physics you need a shitload of power after 100 mph to overcome drag.

Depends on ratio 3.9:1 = 140 @ 6000 3.73:1 = 147 @ 6000 I can't see an NA doing it though just not enough power to push that much air without having a 5>10 mile run up. When discussing top speeds I'm talking about GPS verified not going by the stock speedo.

Hence the Antiseize on my new motor ;)

^ Not a chance in hell...... 5500=117mph If you can get it to 6000 that's 127 this is all assuming stock W58, 4.3 diff and 225/50/16 tires.

"The Mummy" Nice wrap job but I'm with the guys on this Jens should have coated it first.

Still waiting for a response on this one ;)

Ahhh I see what you mean now :) Figgie has the larger one on his car but as I knew 500ish was my upper limit I just grabbed the Stock size one to compliment my Light Crank and the JE's in the new build.

So after you install the bigger alt how much of the HP you "freed up" is left? ;)

I ran a new OEM till 500 then went ATI :)
