“Get away with”?

You mean how small of an alt?

As long as you don’t have huge audio amplifiers or ridiculous head/fog lights and wouldn’t need to use the rear defroster continuously at night 70 amps is ok.


Happy Racing!

If People Drove Any Slower They’d Be Going Backwards

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!

Re: Alternator

If you're wondering how low you can go, that would depend on what you are running for electrical items. You can go as high as you want.

Is there a specific reason why you are looking?
