oh yes,thanks noobz for reminding me.I was going to ask how to program the computer or what type of chip do I need to install.I've never heard of a 3G alternator but I'll defiantly research it. .Do I just measure the belt needed when I delete the AC,smog and fan?
why not run the 3g with the e-fan and underdrives, they are worth as much on a 5.0 as they are on a 4.6. If it will give him the extra 5 hp to get him to his goal and you've got most of the front taken apart doing the fan and alt might as well put them on too.
not talking about running the oem alt. but... how do you figure the its not worth runing a 3g alt, efan and underdirves?
You will not get 5 RWHP from that combo. If you completely removed your ser belt from a 5oh on the dyno, you MIGHT see 6 HP. With the A/C, and smog pump already removed, you're just driving the power steering, fan, and alternator with a 20% under drive. That not worth 5 HP to the wheels.
Not to mention that the OEM alternator is only 85 amp at power. Less at idle. Under driving that alternator will likely cause electrical issues. Adding more HP while slowing the fan and water pump has the potential to cause even more issues.
If you're talking about running an electric fan AND under drive pulleys then the HP benefit is even LESS.
