The Elite series large cast case 400-amp alternator offers great amperage output. Six phase technology, combined with massive twin rectifier assemblies and 12 huge diodes. These impressive alternators produce 190+ amps at engine idle RPM and 400+ amps at cruising speeds (stock diameter crankshaft pulley). ***THIS ALTERNATOR IS NOT INTENDED FOR RACING OR HIGH RPM USAGE. WARRANTY VOID IF OVERSPUN. THIS ALTERNATOR SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN 4,000+ WATT AUDIO SYSTEM APPLICATIONS OR ENGINES SWAPS WITH CORVETTE STYLE ALTERNATOR MOUNTING!!!. ***
This alternator is equipped with a 1.75" Mechman branded high output pulley. It is imperative that a 1/2" shorter serpentine belt is used with this alternator to avoid belt slip and maximum output power. You must also add 0-gauge power and ground wire from our alternator and go directly to the battery for maximum output power. You may leave your OEM cables in place, but the larger cables must be added with any amperage over 250 amps.
Many Corvettes experience electrical issues in near stock form so please ensure your current wiring is up to spec, secure, tight and routed away from high heat items under the hood. The starter wire and fan connector are known areas of concern and should be checked prior to installation of a higher output alternator. Adding a high output alternator will not solve bad or compromised wiring that is already present in the vehicle.

Definition of “Like new” condition:
"Like new" condition refers to an item that appears and functions as if it were brand new or almost new, with minimal to no signs of wear, damage, or defects. It should be pristine or near perfect, without any noticeable scratches, dents, or blemishes. An item described as being in "like new" condition is expected to perform as if it were fresh out of the box, with all original features and functionalities intact. It should be clean and well-maintained, showing little to no evidence of previous use. In summary, a "like new" condition means that the item is in an excellent state, almost indistinguishable from a new product, and would meet the expectations of a brand-new item's performance and appearance.
