I think the Z28's came with the 160...but I could also be mis-informed.

Better a strain on the engine than the system straining the electrical system.

sure...if youre a moron. damaging the engine is more expensive than damaging the electrical system. besides all you need is a capacitor to keep your system good, the stock alternator will work fine.

i agree man...its not going to ruin the engine. at most it will just cause the car to suck more gas. no worries! with gas being almost free (only 3.00 a gallon) we can fill up cheap :banghead:
