which size alt?
I searched but didnt find exactly what i was looking for. Keeping it short and simple, What size alt would i need to run a 92 camaro with a carbed350, electric fans, 1500W stereo, and assorted lights/accesories throughout the car?
my old one is taking a dump and i want a new alt for the new engine in the spring.

I am assuming that is 1500watts peak power so in reality your probably only getting around 500 RMS. Your stock alternator shoudl be fine but if you plan on upgrading you would to purchase a new one. I went out and bought a 160amp alternator. The 160 was the biggest size I could find for my engine
