After having a dead battery in the third round of elims on Sat, I added up the amps being drawn by all my electrical stuff and came up with 73! (two fans, two fuel pumps, water pump, tranny brake, MSD, etc.) This of course made life tough for my 37 amp alternator and battery.
It's time to upgrade. I ordered a 110 amp alternator, but would like to know if anyone has had experience with those "optima" style batteries . Good or Bad ????? Thx, Bill
