you shouldnt have any problems.

An easy way to check and see if you're over clocking the alt is to turn on every load your car has.

Both amps, stereo, head lamps, flashers, a/c, wipers full speed, rear deffroster, and interior lights.

Then take a voltmeter and measure the voltage at the battery with the car running.

You should see 14-14.3 If you see below 13.5 you might need to upgrade your alt.

but you dont necessarily need to have all your accessories on as it will still read 14-14.3 with them off.

The reason I say turn them on is to make sure that it can handle everything that he may need.
