April 3, 201312 yr You're good. Just make sure you upgrade your wiring. Even if you aren't pulling the amperage at all the alternator has a lot of output for stock wiring. At the minimum upgrade your grounds to alternator wire.

This is true anytime installing an aftermarket system, IMO, but especially when upgrading to a high output alternator. 300A is a LOT of current and the wire needs to be capable of delivering it. Best of Luck.
