Guys,

What battery do you guys recommend to replace my cheap factory battery with? I have heard Optima is pretty good are there any others out there?

I realy like the gel cell batterys or kenitik cap killers. I have heard and seen some amazing stuff done with these. What type of alternator are you running?

I just put an optima yellow top in my car yesterday. I'm pretty happy with it.

I have a 130 amp alternator which is plenty...We have less amp alternators then that on our Semi's that run coolers, fridges, microwaves and whatever else the driver has..I don't get into the you need a bigger alternator thing.. If I had a 90amp alt then I would worry...
