I have just ordered one for my Z06. Please PM me the approximate ETA to my door when you have a moment. Thanks
Thanks! I'm assuming based on your payment you're wanting the machined finish 170 amp unit. I'll ship it out Monday via FedEx and it should arrive within a few days.

The Billet Alternator design for 2015 has not changed, but the pricing has. Still using the 6-phase stator, 12-pole rotor design.
This alternator is compact and powerful! This case design even fits aftermarket heads with elevated valve cover rails using Katech valve covers. Many Corvette Forum members are running this alternator and some have reported that some, if not all of their troublesome electrical gremlins have been eliminated due to overcoming the voltage deficiencies that plague the Corvettes. Low voltage issues in summer stop-and-go traffic? Gone with this upgrade. Stock alternators heat up and are unable to even produce anything close to their rated output. This design incorporates higher efficiency and better cooling to keep the alternator output voltage high, even in higher heat situations.
"So what is there to gain from using the Billet-Tech alternator over the factory original?"
Better system voltage. "So what does better system voltage gain me?"
Many of the electrical components in our cars will perform better with full voltage.
Our ignition coils, fuel injectors, fuel pumps, cooling fans, electric water pumps, headlights (and the list goes on) will all perform better with better system voltage.
Why go with a Billet-Tech alternator over others? Take a good look at the cases of the competitors and you will notice that none of them have the beefy, stronger ears that Billet-Tech provides on their cases. Instead, you'll find some skinny ears with pins pressed in. These are modified cases, designed for another vehicle, modified to fit our cars and not nearly as strong.
4 finish options offered: Machined, black anodized, polished and chrome. I am stocking the more popular black and polished 170 amp units. 240 amp units, machined and chrome units are special order. As long as they’re in stock, I ship ASAP, typically the next business day.
The 170amp units shipped:
Machined 489.00
Black 515.00
Polished 539.00
Chromed 589.00
Add 50.00 for the 240 amp option.
If you’re wanting a custom alternator and 14v battery with 16v charging, PM me for details.
C5 owners, PM me. I’ve got something for many of you as well.
Shipping within the continental US is included. Contact me for shipping outside the lower 48.
If your serpentine system is upgraded from the factory 6-rib to 8-rib, let me know because we'll need to make you a custom pulley for that at an additional cost.
If you have a "flip drive", "Secondary drive", "Direct drive" or any variant of it, you may need a shorter belt. The drives use a K060370
and K060365 or a Dayco 6PK915 or Goodyear 36" length belt are your shorter options.

The left one is machined and the right is polished
I ordered through the forum to Bret, BLOWNBLUEZ06@RKTPerformance, for my 2002 Z06 a Black Billet Tech alternator 170 amp with self-starting regulator and tune.
The well secured package arrived even before the schedule time...
It was installed following the provided instruction and instantly showed 14.7 v on the DIC on initial start.
I went on a long hour and half drive yesterday in the 90*F Florida weather.
The DIC never went under 14 volts driving normally AC, Innovate wide-band, Valentine One and radio on. (with OEM GM Valeo alternator it was 13.0 / 13.2)
At stop light, with everything electrical turned on the DIC never went under 13.7 volts. (with OEM GM Valeo alternator it was 12.7 / 12.9)
Coils and Injectors are acting a lot smoother and idle is now where it is supposed to be (engine tuned OLSD since ever).
Thank you for your business Bret, I will recommend your products and your customer service.

You didn't mention that initially the voltage was no better than your stock setup.
Christian and I worked to isolate the voltage drops in the vehicle and then eliminate them so that he could enjoy the full potential of this alternator.
Thanks for allowing me to help you with your beautiful C5 and trusting me enough to take the additional measures needed to get your voltage up.
Just got my black one, looks awesome, 14.7V at idle now I just wish the positive terminal wasn't so damn close to the bracket, but it's fine, the rubber boot protects it still.

You can clock it to have the terminal where you want. I did that as I wanted it pointing downwards.
