I installed my alternator this past weekend and could not be any more pleased with the technical support and quality of the product received. I had the alternator on my door step within two days of ordering.
Background:
In the Alabama heat with a "full" load on the charging system I would often times get the annoying check charging system message.
I have a high dollar forged longblock with a rowdy cam, ATI dampner, and a considerable amount of engine bay heat. I went with a reman from O'Reilley when the OEM alternator died. The reman would make it for 3-4 days and crap the bed at inconvenient times. The average voltage output on the remans and the OEM peaked at 11.5 volts with high beams, fan, AC wide open, and the car at operating temperatures. It was common to see 10.x values on most days.
After the installation of this alternator I've got a rock solid 14.6-14.7 volts at idle and at cruise. Additionally, my inside and outside lights are brighter, my nitrous solenoids and supporting hardware have consistent voltage, and my standalone fuel system is getting 14+ volts as well.
This could very well be one of the best mods for any car regardless of modifications or purpose.
Check out the pictures below:
Note: The finish on the alternator is machined. The odd coloration in the pictures is condensation from the 67* temperature in my man cave to the 100*F and 85% humidity garage.
I just want to say thank you, I bought the black anodized one months ago and I sit at 14.6 all the time and have no electrical problems and battery stays charged. IMOP this is a "have to" upgrade!

It's my pleasure!

also, PM the current price on the 170amp unit if it has changed from the first post
Yes. Utilizes the factory belt. Pricing in the first post is still good.
14.6 volts back and forth to work today in 98* heat and 80+ percent humidity. Fans wide open, AC blowing, and tunes cranking cruising in 6th at 1200RPMs.

The exact reason why I chose to be the distributor for these.
