Re: 108 amp alternator in a Z??
As an example, fluctuations in battery voltage are compensated for by ECM modifying injector PW. However, you'd like to be at the power level where the vehicle and systems operate at optimally.

Re: 108 amp alternator in a Z??
The build sheet for my 88 called for a 120 amp unit. I would think the later cars would be at least 124.
