Ya, up until a certain amount of amps, mine 200A before they had to go to a large case unit. There is only soooo much you can place inside of a stock case and have it reliable. Polo..

Ya, I thought when I opened it there was a stock cased unit until I opened the hood of my car and held them next to each other. I also decided to weight the unit and at 15lbs figured it was quite heavy, lol. Polo.. :-)

Its a Irragi alternator... 300a has to have a large casing! Also Brandon in a small case alternator, you are limited to power @ idle output!
The only way to tell if the output is to put a clamp on the wires and test. You must also load the system down....

It's on B! It took me sh!t you not, 15 mins while drinking some beer, lol. The fit was perfect. Dom E-mailed to assure me that is was a SPECIAL order large case, same mount 300A Bosch unit, with there overdrive pully it runs over 200A at idle and 300A max at 2000 rpms, not too shabby, lol. I am awaiting the 1/0 ga wire for the big three to happen but I installed it anyways but will limit myself to the one sx1250 for the meantime. I have a couple of spools on there way but they are the same color got a discount on them (2x25'). Here is a picture, kinda looks like punkin head, lol.. Polo. :-OUpload

I got it from Iraggi and because it was a very hard to find item, cost me $484.10 shipped, I have seen some cost quite a bit more. The fit and quality was perfect..Polo..
