I submitted an inquiry to mechman about my GS400 a couple of weeks ago this is their response:

"Those vehicles have a pretty low idle speed, and a relatively small crank pulley, so I generally recommend either the 170 amp or the 240 amp S series unit if you want really good output below 800 engine RPM. Both units are pretty much indestructible, even in hot climates. All the S series units feature our twin heavy duty internal rectifiers, oversize charge post, billet aluminum overdrive pulley, hairpin stator, and 12 massive diodes. We include a 2 year warranty, and a 1/0 gauge cable connection with every unit. The price also includes the necessary vehicle specific adapter bracket and plug-n-play wiring harness. Because the drive belt on those cars is so narrow, you may experience some belt slip with the 240 amp unit when it is under a heavy load. We offer a 320 amp unit, but it will pretty much slip the belt all the time.





170 amp

300 rpm turn on

500 rpm - 120 amps

800 rpm - 150 amp

1200 rpm – 170 amps

$449



240 amp

500 rpm turn on

650 rpm - 100 amps

800 rpm - 140 amps

1500 rpm - 240 amps

$549

I just ordered a DC Power 270 Amp alternator, my friend Bigty has used it for over a year with no problems.

Mechman sent me that information. Here is a screenshot of the email. I'm not planning to spend over $500 for something that the manufacturer says does not work. Sorry to the OP for the hijack.
