My 93 isn't charging for shit with my amp and everything running. The stereo is very mild but what do you guys suggest I get and where to get it from for the best price?
Thanks

I'm looking at going with a 130amp CHP unit for $154 SHIPPED with a 1 year warranty. Any thoughts?

does it come with everything needed for the upgrade? Your going to want the wire upgrade with at least 200 amp fuse, fuse connector and 4 gauge wire. Also it should come with the new alternator wires you'll need. Check this link at what is suggested for this type of upgrade.

I would just go to a local parts store and find a lifetime unit from a 94-95 gt.
Just a little modding of the bracket and some wire splicing and you got yourself a 130 amp alternator installed.

I'd suggest the 3G upgrade. If you buy the alternator at Autozone I think you get a lifetime warranty. Here are the directions I used for the upgrade, and the parts list is included. http://racesystems.com/3gproj/index.htm

I did pretty much that but I bought my Alt on e-bay. The guy painted it with high heat engine paint gloss black and included the wire needed to splice. After the install I found that my amp gain was minimal so now Im in the process of upgrading the power wire. Went to orchard and bought 4 gauge wire and wire crimps, went to pa-performance and bought the fuse and fuse holder everything for about $30. My alternator was I think $90. You have a ton of options. My only real suggestion is if your going to do it do it right. Lifetime warranty from a parts shop I wish I went that rout but to each their own.
The install itself is easy and there are color illustrated pictures and detailed instructions onlilne. check this link for those.
