Replacement Alternator AMP Max

[Sinitro]

Going with 95a would require wire upgrade correct?

NO wiring change required..
As the alternator only outputs whatever current is required...
Also now @idle the alternator current output will be higher
so less or no light dimming @idle..

Just my $0.02...

That begs to ask the question, do both side tire caps get the same torque specs? The reason I ask is if the driver is sitting in the car would that cause more pressure on the driver side? I'm asking for a friend.

Is that air from the East Coast or the West? Measurements in the West are a lot looser than East, so one must adjust for differences.

Only in the winter. The air is condensed when it's cold.

Not necessarily so......Air is condendensed when it's pressure is first raised above its critical temperature then when it's cooled, it will liquidfy resulting in liquid air (all components), but must be stored under pressure. The reverse is also true......

Here's one, would you go faster in a car at -30 or +30. If hp was the same and mechanical friction losses were same. Mainly aerodynamic/temperature change.

Sorry , in Celsius. So -27ish vs high 80s

Likely that the car at -30 would go faster due to increased density assume losses are constant. What's your interpretation of aerodynamic temperature change...or difference.....less equals more?..

I was surprised, but the general consensus is you go faster in hot air. Dense air is harder to move through.

The density of the air is cooler and contains more oxygen per unit volume and the engine makes more power. Conversely, in the desert south west when the air is hot, low abd density is low, planes take longer to get off the ground.......

I was speaking of the population being loose, but any answer in such a forum will do.
