    FOR FUN.

    I was in talking to the guys at Van's, local alt and starter rebuild shop, decided to throw the 300A Excessive Amperage alt on the bench test just for fun, knowing full well it couldn't measure peak. He got it up to 140A till the belt slipped and couldn't take her. I asked him mid way through if I could record it, he said yes and jumpped back lol...so nothin really to see, but oh what the hell.

    Thanks Van's and thanks Nate at EA!
