I have headers (of course) and was thinking I could install one of these directly into the factory ducting:
http://www.my12voltstore.com/12_Volt_Ducte...p/sd12-4000.htm I still have my booster fan, nice flappers, J tubes and plenty of ducting... they make a 50 amp model as well. It would need to be located in the engine bay in my opinion... |

Bigger alternator requires more ponies to run it. So I don't know what you have for hp but any gains will likely be negated while running the heater. Fuel mileage will suffer as well.
