The alternators will be for the stereo (over 7k watts total). The stock alt will run the truck normally, while the second mechman 270a alt will supply power to the batteries mounted in the rear. I'm a stereo guy originally, so that's my area.
Will stock manifolds from an older truck degrade any performance over the stock ones I currently have? How much, if any increase would I have by going with cheaper headers vs pre smog manifolds?
