Default C5 Max Effort Alternator

OK. I'm looking for information on, and links to, maximum effort C5 alternators.

We're talking 1/0 gauge bad boys - 200+ amp monsters. In other words, seriously heavy duty alternators. The bigger, the better.

Any links or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

EG

I had a 200+ amp on my Pace Car that I had built at a Alternator shop. I had to use a different bracket that I purchased online. I used a delco CS 144 alternator that had heavy duty internals, since the valeo couldn't be bumped up that high. I got my bracket from alternatorparts.com. I used the A275 bracket along with the A2009 spacer.

Did you have an belt alignment problems with the new bracket? Remember, I am supercharged and will be running a 8 rib belt.

Thanks

<edit> had a look at that site - awesome!!

I have a guy that custom builds alternators for a living, and who is a personal friend of mine as well. We use his alternators exclusively at my shop, and I know for a fact, his alternators are BAD-A$$!!!

His name is Dominick Iraggi, and his company is Iraggi Alternators in LaVergne, TN. His number is 615-287-7991, if you'd like to talk to him directly (be sure to tell him Dave Hale referred you!!), and if you do a Google search on his alternators, type in "Iraggi Alternator", and you will also find that he sells a ton of them on his Ebay store as well!!

I can personally vouch for him, as he has built some of my custom competition alternators in the past, and soon, I will be selling his alternators directly through my online store for Corvettes at www.corvettecaraudio.com.

If you have any questions for me, feel free to contact me directly at my shop during the day, AudioVizions, 615-217-2819, and I will be glad to answer any questions you might have!! Hope this helps!!

No alignment problems, but I did have to switch to a smaller pulley on the Alternator as it was eating through my hoodliner,lol, and I had to get a longer belt. Other than that that's about it I believe. It's been a little over three years ago, so it's hard to remember everything,lol.
