i'm gonna be running a 3250.1 in my 83 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme i'm getting a dbelectric 200 amp alt my question is do you guys think i can get away with the 200 amp alt and my stock battery or do you guys think i'll need to add a battery and if yeah do you have any suggestions for some my budget on batts is 250-300
I would upgrade the front first, then add another one when the funds are there. I imagine even with the upgraded front and HO alt, you will still have more voltage drop than you want. I assume you already did the Big 3. If not you should do it when you put the HO alt in. Have you built the box yet?
havent built the box yet or done the big three but i'm gonna do that when i install the H.O. alt Scott S said he ran 2 3250.1s on a 300 amp alt and a redtop with no voltage issues at all so i was thinking maybe one 3250.1 would be alright on just a 200 amp alt
i have a friend who works at a battery company and he said he can get me optima yellowtops for half price so i might get two of those and put one under the hood and the other one in the back
