im wondering what would be enough amps to run my 70 ss 454? it has a big electric aeromotive fuel pump a msd ignition and im consideing electric fans. but the fans are not set in stone yet. if my new aluminum radiator works well i wont need the fans. the motor is a 454 dart pro 1 heads ross blower pistons a weiand 177 supercharger. ati turbo 400 with a ati treemaster 10 inch converter all going through 2 inch hooker headers with 3 inch exhaust. this is a street car.

If you're considering electric fans you will need a 140A alternator. The fans needed for that engine will will draw 50+A.
