I've done the 115 amp alternator upgrade for the purpose of replacing the stock fan with a Spaal electric and a Spaal pulse width modulator. My stock clutch had seized up and the fan and controller were comparable in price to a new clutch. This way I can have full fan speed while idling with the a/c on for better air flow over the condenser. That's very important during Oklahoma summers. Another reason for the alternator upgrade was to upgrade the wiring and add relays for the headlights to be able to use 100w high beams and to replace the fogs with additional 100w lamps. I drive lots of back roads at night coming from work and going to visit my parents so they're a necessity. I'll also be upgrading my condenser to a parallel flow unit in a couple of months, along with replacing my compressor that seized last September.
