I've seen well over 10 alt'* in an Astro. But that was a competition vehicle. The most i've seen in a daily driver is 3.

Well I guess I heard that. I really thought a cap would have more of a effect than it does.

Sorry for the argumentation guys,

Tim

no apology necessary, freindly debates can breed ideas and breakthroughs,

Yes it does, I was cutting up with all the apologies. I enjoy a good discussion
I just really did think they did more good than that.

Thanks,

i do not care for the ac as it will be a music car and the windows would be open for voice or sealed shut for spl and db drag. so no i dont care for or need the ac to work.. plus it dont work as it is. (needs recharge)..
