alternator
I swapped to the 3G 95 amp unit from PA and have had great results. The stock 2G 65 amp, especially at lower RPMS, does not make the power you need and even at highter RPMS, you are probably taxing it near or beyond its capacity. Overall, the 3G is a superior unit. I would definitely recommend switching the power wire from the alternator to the solenoid. For reasons unknown, the factory Ford piece consists of 2 10 or 12 gauge wires from the alternator, which then join into just one once they get about six inches down the line. I think this is barely adequate for a 65 amp and inadequate for anything stronger. I used a 4 gauge braided copper wire with soldered on copper cable ends. This is more than enough for the 95 or 130 amp unit and will give you good piece of mind for about $10 plus a little work. I did not use it, but I would imagine PA's kit will consist of something similar. Good luck
