Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4956 Registered: Oct-05 | i'd say it will still be okay. you might want to get a ho alt later but for the time being it will work. i was runnig 2 jl 1000/1 to my stock for awhile until i upgraded to a 280a ho alt. |

Gold Member Username: StnorrisIA US Post Number: 1200 Registered: Apr-06 | tj, try testing ur battery when the car is on in park, and see what it says. maybe ur battery needs replaced or maybe its not getting the power it needs. also look at doing big 3. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4958 Registered: Oct-05 | remember i said for the time being. really look into upgrading that alt. nate will give you good price on yours. |
