[QUOTE="SCGallo2, post: 15910572, member: 160791"] An AC Delco unit I temporarily installed in a pinch had sporadic voltage regulation from 13.3 - 15.7V under steady engine operation. I wasn't content with this because my original OEM alternator regulated voltage around 14.5V when it was functioning properly and same thing with the second OEM alternator I installed, with the exception of it not charging under WOT conditions. Do you need the 200 amp version? The tech guy at PA Performance said that their 130 amp version did a better job of regulating voltage at lower rpms and if I didn't have big audio amplifiers or a lot of power draining accessories, that 130 amps was all I needed. We also spec'd an alternator pulley to make sure I didn't spin the alternator over 16,000 rpms. It is working well for me at this time. If you are seeing 12V with the engine running, your alternator isn't charging your battery. I would pull it and send it back. [/QUOTE]
