I do not find the specification of the Boss factory alternator (for 2013 Boss 302). What is the amperage output (min and max)? I believe that I need a higher output alternator. I am supercharged and I have four new fans (heat exchanger and oil coolers), the GT500 radiator fan swap and some other equipment drawing electricity (GT500 HE water pump, gauges, detectors with GPS) and at one point last week when I was idling in 90F heat and my AC was on (radio was off but headlights on) I received a "Check charging system ..." message. The center console showed 11 V output. I turned off AC and drove the car an hour later and no problem. Left the AC off and drove the car next day 300 miles and no problem and center console showed 13.7-14.0 output.
I will test the alternator but what amp does the factory alternator output and if I want to replace it with higher amp alternator what can I use (considering that the Boss alternator is supposed to be a higher RPM alternator). I looked at the PA Performance HO alternator catalog but they do not show anything for the latest mustangs. I see HO alternators at various sites but they are for earlier mustang versions. Thank you for the advice.
